Advice on NBA Packs and Boxes: Ask your questions here!

[motiv8dan]

Hey all, a newbie here also, I collect all Boston Celtic cards as was looking at getting a couple of boxes to assist in getting some cards to help me trade some Celtic cards into my collection, I was thinking of getting the below:
2011/12 Panini Past & Present
2011/12 Panini NBA Hoops

Are these good boxes in getting some hits to trade on here, also what happens if i get a redemption card, can I claim the redemption in AUS? Am I better getting 1 of each box or just get 2 x Past and Present? Payment at DaCardWorld is it by credit card only do they accept Paypal?

Sorry for all the questions, just want to be sure before i pull the trigger.

C'Mon Carlton, Dan's just starting up again don't tempt him to fork out $180+ for 4 cards, we only get serious after with have three 2000ct boxes full of base.

 

[motiv8dan]

Wow Super fast delivery, they arrived this morning, looks like i have some packs to open I will post results in the Box Break section.

Good luck dan. That is mad quick delivery. I ordered 3 boxes on sunday from dacardworld and am hoping they get here soon. Getting antsy. Haha

 

[mattyeah]

M.J mojo coming your way from the Tar Heels packs I sense.

 

[motiv8dan]

Thanks all that was fun, deciding on my next order, got to hide it from the missus though

 

[sskillswitch]

Just out of curiosity dan, which method of delivery from DACW did you choose? I chose USPS priority mail which I fear may have been a rookie mistake. Tracker hasnt updated for a few days. Hope some postal worker hasnt buggered off with my Preferred box haha

 

[motiv8dan]

It was just standard UPS, both options gave 4-8 days

 

[sskillswitch]

Thanks mate, no worries... I guess im just more concerned with the tracker situation - panicky noob haha.
I was hoping to have them before i went back to work, but i guess ill have to wait now...

After an 18 Month self imposed DACardworld lay off im ready to buy again. Trying to toss up which case to go for Prefered or Gold Standard. I was also considering limited but i think there is too much junk in limited now. 11/12 of course, any thoughts?

 

[sskillswitch]

After just breaking my first boxes (1 x 2011-12 Preferred, 2 x 10-11 Playoffs Contender Patches), i've been bitten. Any ideas on what i should be going for next. Looking to buy some more in the next few days...
