Best Hobby Box for value, right now
 

I'm seeing some videos of the Phoenix H2 Hybrid boxes, and for $100-125, it's not too bad to take a chance on. The Optic ones are too pricey for my tastes, and I usually dabble in a few blasters (where my son pulled our Downtown last year!)

What do you think are boxes at a good price point currently? Talking non-blasters.

Nothing is at a good price point, everything is still too expensive.

I agree with the Phoenix H2
2022 Contenders @300 seems ok. 5 autos per box.
Bowman Chrome U @120 is a fun break, but I collect college guys so..
2021 Score is down to $180
Quite a bit of 2015 has come down a lot because the RC class has not panned out so well.
Hope you crush it!

First of all, you write beautifully.

Second, I agree with everything you wrote.

Thanks very much! We do too.

I actually have some college football Onyx cards, but I have a ton of parallels and inserts I'd like to sell. I'm open to suggedtions as to how to sell a few large piles of inserts, as LCS will only give $0.50 on the dollar and photographing/coining them all is a lot.

I'd suggest taking the fifty cents on the dollar the LCS is offering and let them deal with the time/effort trying to squeeze some margin out of it.

The best value is no hobby box. 100% savings.

Optic Contenders starting to crash if you are looking for 22 rookies. $350 compared to $599 for 21. Probably be $250 or less in a month. I prefer one pack boxes as less base card clutter when you strike out.

22- yes
21- maybe
20- no
19- why?

LOL....meant more flavors, not years. People are saying prices are coming down but tell that to the LCSs near me. I get my boxes at Giant anyway.

I probably should support my LCS more, but they always upmark (understandable) but also don't like to trade/buy in offseason because 'the national is coming up'.

I'm watching what 22 Donruss Optic does in the next month. That will be a tell for other decent products for the year. Sealed hobby for 21 holding close to what it was last year online $1000-1200. Already see 22 presales up on 'sale' less than strike price for the panini auction the other day.

2022 Classics H2 is a fun rip at $99, maybe less if you search hard enough. No guaranteed autos and no Purdy like in Phoenix H2, but tons of color and lower numbered stuff.

Agree with this...wait till mid july but still before the season and wax will be better priced.

It's a grocery store. Giant is a subsidiary of Ahold-Delhaize along with other chains like Food Lion, Hannaford, and Stop & Shop.

Just wait for the 2023 products with more QB Rcs to chase

What he said With student loans starting back up and inflation still rampant I see another year or 2 prices should be back to normal.

22 Bowman University Chrome hobby at $120
