I know most will say to just buy singles but I enjoy busting and have been looking at a few options for a case. For those that have busted the products below, please give some advice.

I'm torn between
11-12 Limited
12-13 Limited
12-13 Momentum
13-14 Totally Certified

Depending on the case will depend on which site I buy it from as other sites are less expensive than the competition. I'm trying to avoid a tone of base which is why I'm looking at the products above. I know there will be some junk cards either way I go but I'm most interested in what you all think is the most fun break and maybe the one with less sticker autos.

Thanks for the advice,
-Chris

I would go with 12-13 momentum. I just like that there are five autos to a box.

If I go that route, I will also have some $$ left over for 3-5 single boxes as well.

Thanks for the input.

Limited.

Consider 12-13 TC over 13-14.

12-13 TC is too expensive. I'm looking to cap it at $700. Which Limited do you like better?

There are A LOT of redemptions in 11-12. You get XRC redemptions that look like CRAP. That's even if they've been signed.

There are better cards in the product in terms of veteran players, but 12-13 is all on card acetate RC autos. I like that.

12-13 Limited would also allow me to get some extra boxes in addition to the case and I do like the relic subsets in that product. Thanks for the advice.

I like Limited. Have probably bought a case or more, one or more boxes at a time over the past few years. I started doing those, timeless treasures, etc. because I didn't want all the base either.(Base are #'ed in 11-12 Limited though)-- I usually only like base if I'm putting a set together or the plain RC's are actually worth something.(ie The old Topps Chrome) +++ being affordable helps too :)

Wow, sorry for the rant...Anyway I've pulled some very nice stuff from both 11-12 and 12-13 Limited...And just recently had a very good 5 box break or Timeless Treasures, which is kind of in the same mold as limited. Getting 3 hits and couple/few other cards in the one pack/box breakdown...

I have bought one box of Momentum. 5AU is cool and they look pretty nice. Not a bad option..


.***Make sure to inform of your decision and ofcourse post here so we can see what you got ;).

I don't think there is any memorabilia in Momentum either. Just crappy parallels.

I understand this isn't one of the products you listed but 12-13 contenders is a nice product with good players. Lillard Davis and kyrie to name a few

I would stay in 12-13. You have a lot of really solid RCs to hunt for. 11-12 Limited has the horrendous XRC auto redemptions and 13-14's draft class is pretty weak in comparison.

12-13 all the way... You have so many good RCs to hit.

Momentum is full of sticker autos and design wise, the worst. But you get the most "hits"

Personally for the price i'd do 12-13 Timeless Treasures. At $375 for a 10 box case it's a steal. 3 hits a box. Great rookie class. Some really nice on card autos.

And you still have enough left over to buy a few other boxes.

I ended up going with a case of 12-13 Limited and with a $25 coupon I was able to get the case for $489 DLVD. I had enough left over and grabbed one box of 12-13 Select and three boxes of 11-12 Limited from blowout. Should be a lot of fun next week when the cards arrive.

Thanks to all for their opinions! I'll post the results next week.

Thanks, I'm pretty excited for next week. I also got 4 spots in the March Madness promo with my single box purchases. Maybe I'll get lucky on that and get some more wax!
