A few more questions for all the pros on here!! First off, thanks for your responses to my previous question.. Very very helpful! I am new all over to collecting and I am focusing on the 2012 Topps Football (standard Topps with Luck on the display). I collected as a kid but 20 years later, I have started again and ALOT has changed!!
1. Where is the best place to get hobby boxes and jumbo hobby boxes of this set? I have already pieced the whole set together with value boxes and hanger boxes, but I am not pulling the 'good cards' (autos, and special cards, etc)
2. My wife surprised me and picked up the 440 Complete Set of the 2012 Topps Football. From what I remember collecting as a kid, this will be more valuable in the longrun if I dont break the seal. I am tempted to open it though, so I was seeking your opinions on that. I assume that Topps doesn't put anything extra in there aside from the Andrew Luck Patch Card, but do they put in the SP Variation cards here and there?
Out of the value boxes and hanger boxes so far, my best pulls are... RG3 Jumbo Jersey Relic card, a Russel Wilson Jumbo Relic, Probably about 25-30 RG3 or Luck regular rookies,A 1984 RC Blackmon, a bunch of Wilson RCs, the Aaron Rodgers Mike Floyd and Ryan Tannerhill Variations.. Thats about the extent of it, and I have bought ALOT of these boxes so per your suggestions, I am now going for the hobby boxes.
Thanks again for all of your help on this! So much has changed and when I opened my first Beckett in about 20 years, I got SUPER CONFUSED!!
Another thing that has changed and sucks is that there are no longer any local card shops that are open in my area! I am out by Gurnee Illinois.
Thanks again and I am learning alot from you guys by reading all these threads!
