Default Best Break for Under $150?

Recently getting back into things and I've got an urge to crack some wax. Mostly into chrome and prospects but I am open to breaking something that can land me solid trade bait.

Any suggestions?

Archives blaster boxes at your local store or the bowmans. Archives have been a lot of fun for me and I've only opened 3 blasters and 5 rack packs, producing some nice cards so far.. Bowman produce some nice hits as well.

I like the design of 2017 Finest but at $140 after tax for a box, it looks like most people are taking an absolute bath.

For sure, but the price on those boxes should come down in the coming weeks.

absolutely agree they SHOULD.

having said that, 2017 across the board is up up up. even blasters are still selling at SRP.

2017 is CRAY CRAY!

No hobby box recommendations. I find that interesting, but understandable.

I've done pretty well with the 2017 Bowman Retail 22 Card Value packs myself, and I never do well in retail, but those have been surprisingly worth the money.

15 Draft Jumbo. Should be in the 150 range. Anything 16 or 17 is overpriced.

I just picked up two Hobby boxes of 2015 Bowman Draft for under $150 including shipping. You have the chance to hit a Benintendi, Tucker, Happ, Rodgers or Swanson. Hit any of those three and you made almost all you're money back with one card.

I agree with other posts above; 2016 & especially 2017 pricing is CRAZY right now. I picked up a 2017 Bowman Jumbo case for $1140 when it first launched. Got sick then had to travel for work and never got the chance to open it. They are now sitting at $1700 a case. Think I'm just going to sell it rather than bust it at those prices.

You can also pick up a 2016 Bowman Draft Jumbo box (three auto) for about $150 still. Lots of nice hits in there as well.

Post whatever you get, I love seeing what people are breaking and good luck!

I still have not spotted a box in my neck of the woods. They are destined to be scooped up ASAP by anyone with a modicum of knowledge in cards. The trouble of finding Mega boxes is not worth the time spent to find them. If you are one of the lucky few that finds them at a Target, buy buy and buy.
