Since blowout has them at the same price, I plan on spending the amount of an optic case ($1300). Should I get the Optic (chance of hot boxes, more cards per box, optic seems to sell better since its like chrome) or Limited (3 hits instead of 1, only 1 on card auto but you do get 2 autos, and price wise, you get more hits with the same amount of money). I've been going back and forth all night about it and I am at a crossroads. Input would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Limited has a better chance at more interesting cards, Optic has a chance at more color.
Do you like to open packs or get hits?

Optic for a bunch of reasons:
1) Limited really doesn't have a deep checklist this year as it has in prior years, more hit variation than Optic, but not enough where I would weigh it too heavily.
2) From the little Limited I have seen, there seem to be some condition issues around the edges and corners.
3) The top-end 1/1 hits are better in Optic with the "gold vinyl" superfractors. In limited it is just a piece of tag instead of a jersey.
4) More recognized premiums for low number parallels with Optic. Limited just changes the foil color and puts nice patches (most of the time) in the /10 RPAs.
5) Optic is a much more fun, and lengthy rip. Even when you hit the auto out of the box you can look for low numbered parallels of top guys and have some excitement. I also love the look of all the base/inserts much better.
6) Optic has base rookie cards, which are nice, but can also become worth something if slabbed since this seems to be, along with Prizm, the go-to base rookie card.

Much better chance at getting vet hits in Limited if you're interested in vet hits.

RCs are once!

A case of Optic usually has 2 hot boxes with 4 autos in each box. So out of 12 boxes there could be 18 autos, plus the color, plus the holos (refractors).

I was surprised at limited--on card--fairly decent-not fot me though.
For me its optic--but i wouldnt buy either at 1300. Its an 80 buck a box product, even know dak/zeke craze has slowed down.
I would have said for the best of both worlds in that price range preorder a case of Select, although the price just went up a bit.
