In my head im saying inserts
but you cant go wrong with auto's...
Its just so hard to tell whether UD, Panini or topps which is better i dont want to pay top dollar and walk out with a Volvo LMAO

My first box was a 2007/08 Upper Deck Hobby box (east exclusive). It was $69.99 plus post. On average you get 1 auto and 2 GU.
I pulled my 1 auto 2 GU and was lucky enough to get an extra hit which was an Alonzo Mourning 3 colour patch.

Here is a west one: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/2007-08-...84?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_15&hash=item4845dea010

The east and west are the same its just that the East box has Jordan on the box and East exclusive Jordan inserts (usually 2-3 a box). While the West box has Durant on the box and the West exclusive Durant inserts (which are RC's and usually are 2-3 a box).

Hope this helped!

Cheers

Looking to get back into collecting. I just had a look at the Past & Present cards as advices above and jeez they are ugly! Great inserts but just ugly cards IMO.

What's everyone's opinion on the 2009/10 Panini Season Update box? Looks value for a new starter? Are there any redemptions? If so, have they expired?

The redemptions would be expired but are fairly rare. Another thing I can tell you they are packed with Lakers cards. Most/all of your jersey cards will be of Lakers players.
So a good box for value and for a Laker fan.

Massive turn off right there... hahaha

Any alternate suggestions? Around $80 (+ postage) or below?

That is a little bit of an older box but something you could go for is 2010/11 Panini Classics: http://www.dacardworld.com/sports-cards/2010-11-panini-classics-basketball-hobby-box or a cheaper alternative: http://www.dacardworld.com/sports-cards/2010-11-panini-season-update-basketball-hobby-box


Hope this helped a bit!

Both season update products are value for money for sure!

On the 4th of July DACARDWORLD was selling them for $34

That 2010/11 Panini Classics Basketball Hobby Box looks pretty sweet! Might pick myself up one of them. Thanks!

Edit: Actually those Season Update cards do looks pretty nice too! Might get a box of them to start off with then

You'd be better off buying singles if you're going to be chasing just the Jordans in my opinion.

I RECOMMEND EVERYONE BUY THE 2011-12 FLEER RETRO BASKETBALL (if it ever comes out) THEN SELL ME YOUR INSERTS FOR MY ANNUAL FLEER CHASE.

Hey all,

I'm bored of collecting 2009/10 Upper Deck basketball, it's not the most exciting product. Could you recommend another product that is exciting with a good chance of hits (patches, jerseys, auto's, low # etc).

Willing to pay up to $150-ish a box. I would like to stay away from the 5 cards per box products but will give one or two a try.

I have been looking into getting some Panini Prestige and Threads hobby boxes, are they any good?

Cheers,

Justin

Just cracked my first box of cards in a while (10/11 Panini Season Update). Not an amazing result.

Hey all, new to posting here, but been a member for a lil bit.

Looking back into collecting (tried when i joined this site, but my financial situation took a hit, but is on the up and up again). Was just looking for some advice on what you guys think would be the best to start off with as i havent collected since i was 10 haha. Im looking for a decent base, but also some good hits too.
Also, where do you guys get your boxes from? Im from NSW, and we dont have anything at all, which blows! i was lookin at DACW, i assume they are reliable...

Oh, prob looking at spending 100-200 per box.

Any feedback is appreciated. Cheers
