I know a lot of collectors, me included, hate sets with short prints or other gimmicks that artificially inflate the number of boxes needed to build a set, but products like Panini Complete and Topps Opening Day don't really seem to generate a lot of revenue for the card companies. I do think Topps Heritage would still sell well even if the SPs were dialed back a little. That's probably the set most favored currently by people who like set building.RAZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17519699812373438878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6974740724487938002.post-31596539156538052462018-01-08T19:43:11.298-07:002018-01-08T19:43:11.298-07:00Buying singles makes sense for me like 80% of the ...Buying singles makes sense for me like 80% of the time, but sometimes you just want to see if you can pull something really cool. Reverse box breaks are pretty fun, and allow you to tailor the virtual box to your personal collection.RAZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17519699812373438878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6974740724487938002.post-20899105777889665532018-01-08T16:42:24.192-07:002018-01-08T16:42:24.192-07:00Unfortunately, the trading card companies have aba...Unfortunately, the trading card companies have abandoned the collectors who just want to collect base sets and maybe a few of the ho-hum inserts. I have a hard time paying for boxes when a fair amount of the cards will take me dozens of boxes to complete a set. I'd rather buy the completed set 90% of the time...but that isn't as fun either.SumoMenkoManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17461389544030702085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6974740724487938002.post-65971676776665354332018-01-08T10:49:12.377-07:002018-01-08T10:49:12.377-07:00The 23 days of pack busting was awesome!

Thanks... it gave me the opportunity to live vicariously though you.<br /><br />I'm torn between busting boxes and buying singles, but I definitely lean towards the latter. It's hard to go into a box break expecting to get your money back, because 90% of the time you don't. However like you mentioned there's the entertainment factor and the possibility of landing a big hit. That counts for something. On the other hand, I've done reverse box breaks where I hand picked singles using a sample box breakdown and they're always more fulfilling than most of the box breaks I've done.Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.com
