Hello!
Im a relatively new subscriber to this website, and have thoroughly enjoyed reading about everyone's box breaks. Im more of a vintage card collector now, but I have a couple of boys now ages 7 and 10 who love buying the new stuff. Ive discovered over the past year that Im very much out of the loop as far as baseball card collecting goes, and I was very disappointed in a box of Donruss I bought one of my sons for his birthday. I just dont care for the lack of logos on the uniforms. He got some neat relics and a couple of autographs, but my sons pretty savvy for a 10 year old and has started to appreciate the value of money and baseball cards in general, and I think he'd do better in the long run with MLB licensed card brands. He enjoys collecting Minnesota Twins cards in general, but he gets the most fun out of pulling a relic, serial number, or autographed card of anyone.
What Im hoping to get from you all is a recommendation on a good brand of card to get my kids for Christmas. Im thinking of getting them each a box of something, and Im definitely aware of the different price points. I dont want to go much higher than $100.00 for each box. They have both enjoyed plenty of Bowman Chrome and Allen and Ginter packs this summer. Im just wondering if there is anything else cool to take a chance on?
Thanks!
John
