If you can grab some of those old boxes at a cheap price they are definitely a fun break.
I quite enjoy not having to worry about hitting some high end auto or short numbered card.
Broke a box of 92-93 Stadium Club a while back and it was great fun getting multiple Shaq/Zo/Sprewell rookies and a few of the iconic Beam Team inserts.
Definitely takes you back to the days when getting your favourite players base card and/or an insert were the highlight of your day!
