To buy or not to buy....
I know asking a bunch of prospecting junkies whether I should buy boxes or not is like being an alcoholic and asking a bartender if I should have a drink...
Should I buy either
1) 2 boxes of platinum, or
2) 1 box platinum, 1 box A&G
I got 3 boxes of platinum and they went amazingly well, but now I have the itch again and I'm either gonna spend my $180 on these two boxes, OR I'm gonna spend the money on a vintage card that I really want.
CAN'T DECIDE!!!!!!

Go for the Teddy Ballgame! You can pick your needs up either trading or purchasing singles. Learned my lesson (well kind of) the hard way. Alot of base cards lying in boxes I do not need and nobody wants.......

I agree 1000% percent especially the Boxes of stuff, but eventually I will load into org and whatever is not gone by Dec, I am going to a boys home and donating the rest.

Go with Ted Williams - I stopped buying hobby boxes about a year ago to concentrate on the Hunt Auction Ted Williams personal collection. You can build a nice collection by being selective and buying one item at a time.
