Hockey Collector Looking For Advice

[ncm7772]

Hey all;

Don’t dabble much in football except for snagging some singles here and there on the Bay. Looking to get a box or two of a football product with my next order. Suggestions? Just looking for something that is the best “bang for the buck.” Like to open packs, but also like the single pack per box products. Kind of narrowed it down to these:

Certified
Elements
Legacy
Playbook
Unparalleled

Any suggestions are appreciated .

Some of those Brands are not the most popular, if had to chose one out of the group probably Certified. But Prizm is very popular (More $) but you get a lot of color and stuff and it holds value, same with Contenders. I really like Optic though only one Auto, but the Rookies and color Prizm's are sharp looking.

Avoid POOPNINI football is my advice.

Thanks! I’d been kind of leaning towards Certified. Might just avoid any football at this point, based on what people at various forums have told me. I’m a little bummed .

Feel the same about Panini hockey. Unfortunately though, Panini being gone has made Upper Deck even worse.

What represents "bang for the buck" to you?
Chance of hitting someone you PC? there are a few sites with lists of cards by teams that would help decide which set may be best.


Best return on investment? That is probably Prizm or Contenders, but it's not on your list above.

Nice looking patch autos? Playbook and Certified have some eye catching stuff. Playbook is probably the biggest swing box out there though- a lot of really crappy boxes.

Of course, it all depends on exactly which box you open. Its all a gamble.

I’d say best return on investment primarily. Thanks for your input!
