Box 16-17 Aficionado

Yes i like it. I've been buying a box or 2 of different brands just to see what I like until I find something I really like to collect and so far these are up there.
I also opened a couple packets of 16/17 Revolution but the flashy sparkly stuff is a bit over the top for me.
Its hard to know what to expect from a box after being out of the game for so long but I was quite impressed with the number of rookie cards, and I like the jersey card.
Only base cards:
KAT, P Gasol, Butler, Wiggins, Brogdon, Labissere RC, Parker, Love - Fractal, Noel - Fractal and LeVert RC - Astro
I should add if you have any ideas for a box around the $100-150 price range and keeping in mind the flashy Revolution stuff is a bit much for me I'd be happy to hear it.
Im also going to jump in on a few box breaks in the hope the greater variety peaks my interest.

What is your main aim of breaking? Are you looking get a big hit, return on investment or are you just looking for cards for yourself that look nice?
Cards that look nice. I also like the idea of collecting rookie sets, and im a Spurs fan so any team stuff (which im sure most have). Also any boxes that contain throwback stuff. Im a massive David Robinson fan with over 300 of his cards from early and mid 90s so if i could add to that it would be great too.
Being able to sell off some of those i don't need to fund more boxed would also help but isn't a necessity.
Big broad list there i know

Studio and aficionado look nice but I can't see them holding much value, Revolution has a bit of value with the rare autos and galactics. Donruss has next day rookie autos which are always nice, and court kings is very cool looking. If it were me I would break revolution but each to their ownCards that look nice.

Thanks for the advice. Being new (returned) to the hobby I'll take all the advice I can get

I love Revolution!
Check out some of these in the 100-200 range. The Totally Certified usually goes good

Yeah i guess coming from that old school late 80s early-mid 90s background (where the cards were pretty much just a photo) the sparkly Revolution just seems really out there to me. I'll buy a few more packs maybe it'll grow on me.
I also tried the Complete which seemed too bland and the Hoops as posted previously. I don't mind the Hoops and have brought another box in the hope I can finish the base set (need 18 cards) and maybe hit a few nice inserts etc. But once thats done I'd like to move on to something in the mid-tier range.
Thanks for the help.
