I agree with JGBlargh, nothing is more fun to me than busting wax. You just never know what is going to be in that next pack, and that is what keeps me buying boxes.b Granted, I usually end up with a ton of doubles and triples (thanks UD collating!), but then I can trade them with my blogger friends. Nothing beats pulling those last few cards you need from a pack.Nick B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01686543381365303393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3629531718057678439.post-12002117177557415302011-11-16T20:51:14.483-04:002011-11-16T20:51:14.483-04:00I got two boxes of Score in the mail today.

I did pull that god awful Antropov press conference shot. Tempted to try this set. I could get a Fat Pack box for about $90 including S/H. If you're not into praying for a hit maybe Fat pack boxes would be the better way to go. I know the collation in a fat pack box isn't perfect but I bet it's much better than buying 3 boxes. I'll have to think about pulling the trigger on that one.<br /><br />@Sal - If you pay all the shipping, I could do some. Not much else to do in the Arctic during winter.JGBlarghhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06984741826030266285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3629531718057678439.post-17289460014541016412011-11-16T20:00:25.516-04:002011-11-16T20:00:25.516-04:00@Canuck, Thanks for the offer, I will email you fo...@Canuck, Thanks for the offer, I will email you for sure!<br /><br />@JGBlargh, I totally agree in the value of building and collecting a set. I will likely put a set like this in a binder as it is a pretty large and comprehensive set and I will certainly pull it out of the closet a few times and enjoy it so for how little I paid it will be worth it.. I do plan on building H&P and Possibly an UD set this season too so I can try and get the best of both worlds.Pro Set Cardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223284558318605801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3629531718057678439.post-30126991119461224592011-11-16T18:26:53.854-04:002011-11-16T18:26:53.854-04:00JGBlargh, I will let you put my cards in numerical...JGBlargh, I will let you put my cards in numerical order for me, if you like :)Salhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062573971073651593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3629531718057678439.post-28397866328068467682011-11-16T13:50:41.878-04:002011-11-16T13:50:41.878-04:00Nothing beats opening packs.

I am not talking about the moments afterwards when you realize that you got nothing but a crappy insert and doubles or triples of cards you already had. I am talking about the moments leading up to and the actually opening.<br />I can't buy a complete set, I'd just shelf it and not really get anything out of it. No feeling of accomplishment. If I ever did buy a complete set I'd probably ask the seller to shuffle the cards so I could at least organize them. <br />It's definitively cheaper to buy the complete set but for me, I wouldn't get as much joy out of it.JGBlarghhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06984741826030266285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3629531718057678439.post-85275112034290688902011-11-16T10:42:59.089-04:002011-11-16T10:42:59.089-04:00That isn't silly.

I bought a complete set of this year's OPC (including SPs) for less than what 3 boxes would have cost me. Somehow, I will manage to live without all of the crummy inserts the packs would have yielded me.Salhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062573971073651593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3629531718057678439.post-34020994808174931952011-11-16T06:40:30.942-04:002011-11-16T06:40:30.942-04:00Thanks guys!

Then leftover money, could have been used to try and pick up some of the insert sets or whatever, but I was pretending there were buyback inserts from previous sets and stuff. So I used the remaining money to pick up those types of things. I did it in a ratio that I could in theory pretend they came from three boxes. That is why I called it building a box.<br /><br />Silly, yes. But certainly was fun to do. Maybe as fun as busting the packs themselves....Pro Set Cardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223284558318605801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3629531718057678439.post-84891054616294030652011-11-15T23:52:06.821-04:002011-11-15T23:52:06.821-04:00I like the idea.
