Avoid Bowman Sterling, Limited, Five Star and Supreme. They are hit or miss cases/boxes. Meaning you may hit something good, but most of the time you are going to hit something of significantly less money than what you put into them.
I would say go with 2011 Certified, still leaves you with over $300, to use on single cards you would like. Figure out who you want to collect, or a specific team, or maybe even a collection of players. Let say hall of fame, then keep your sights aimed on Hall of Fame players.
Best of luck to you, in getting back to collecting. Its a horribly addicting hobby.
