If I were you--and lived in an area that had some decent card shows--I'd probably go to a show and see what you can find. I think you'd get the most bang for your buck there. You could probably turn that $200 into $1500+ in BV. Granted, I'm not sure that you'd find the Almora and Crawford cards you need, but you might be able to turn it into some decent trade bait, if you enjoy that.
Otherwise, I'd probably just buy singles from COMC/Ebay/Beckett. Have you checked out the Beckett marketplace? I've found some really good deals there in the past. Especially for low-end SN cards that would be a pain to find otherwise. For $200, you could get a serious PC haul. Every few months I try to spend $100-150 on 30-50 cards.
In any event, just have fun with it. Do whatever you'll enjoy. After all, it's a gift. Happy holidays!
