Yep they are 12-13 mate, @Mrpaparazzi will see this post soon and will most probably be able to sell you one if he has any in stock.

You will need some cash, preferably a paypal account and a address.

looking to buy another box and am after some advice please. I'm feeling a little nostalgic so I'm thinking of purchasing something from the era I originally collected cards which is 1994-2000. Does anyone have any suggestions? Budget is $100.

Favourite players of that era include: obviously Jordan (and the other big Bulls players), A. Hardaway, David Robinson, Shaq, Barkley etc

Would love some inserts, not after collecting the base set.

Any ideas to help me relive my childhood?

95/96 Fleer Ultra series 1 is a nice choice. Prob around $65 and has alot of chase inserts with gold parallels.

95/96 Flair series 1 or 2 is also pretty sweet and has a chance of those players you mentioned.

Did you find anything?

You cannot go wrong with this IMO.

Chance at some nice gold medallion inserts. The base set is nice and the Gold medallions are pretty sweet too.

Hey guys. Looking for something to bust - something from around the 90's to the current day. Budget is $200.

What would get me the best value, as well as the most enjoyment?

Are you wanting to buy locally mate? If yes check the post above yours and click on the link.

For 200 you have a pretty wide range of options. Prizm is a good start or maybe some nice upper deck earlier products.

Looking to get my first box of NBA, and I'm looking at DA at the moment. They have these two boxes available:

http://www.dacardworld.com/sports-cards/2011-12-panini-past-and-present-basketball-hobby-box
http://www.dacardworld.com/sports-cards/2011-12-panini-limited-basketball-hobby-box

Are these boxes good value? If I sold all the cards would I get most of my money back?

Thanks.

Man to be honest, no matter what box you buy, "most" of the time you will not get your money back.

If/when I buy boxes it's purely because I like the cards. Yes It would be great to get a big hit but if you don't hit a top rookie/Kobe or another legend auto you will most probably not get a good return money wise.

If you just want to buy to enjoy the sensation of opening lots of packs, go for a box with a lot of them.

To answer your question, out of those two boxes I would pick limited.

Two great blokes that will hopefully lead us to success in the coming years (biting my tongue there )

I'm thinking either Gold Standard 11-12, 2 P&P or even something like a Bowman Sterling from a few years back/SP Authentic?

Yeah I know what you're saying and I completely agree. I was just asking to see if these boxes were worth buying or not. Thanks

I have roughly US$90 budget, give or take, to bust a box of 90's basketball product.
Currently, I set my sight on one of these two boxes below, but other suggestions are welcome and considered.

(1) 1997-98 Hoops - Series 2 (hobby version)
(2) 1999-00 SP Authentic

These two boxes both give me a chance to pull something that I am not actively building, but will build down the road.

If I bust (1), I am looking for a chance to pull a 1997-98 Autographics card (regular or Century Marks). Doesn't matter which player it is.
A High Voltage 500 card is nice too, but it's not my priority.

If I bust (2), I am looking for a chance to pull a nice Sign of the Times card. Specifically, I hope that I have the luck to pull the Kobe one (priority), or if the luck is bigger and the card is live, even the Jordan one.
Yes, I understand that it's crazy, but with roughly $90 budget, there is simply no chance for me to go after the Kobe single. If I choose (2) and don't pull one, next time I might head to the Selling/Trading session to look for one, when my next paycheck comes.

Whichever I choose, if I don't pull anything great, it is completely fine - I will just enjoy the fun.

So...which option is better?
If suggesting anything other than the two boxes that I mentioned, please state the reason.

Thank you so much.

Prizm, Select, Crusade or Totally Certified?

What would be your preference?

prizm looks the nicest, but only offers 2 autos, whereas select gives you like 4 or 6 or something. crusade im not a fan of really. tc is a nice product though. depends what you are after really

lordfranz · Aug 15, 2013

Hi everyone, need your help mates.. I plan to buy 2012 crusade and brilliance box in the states. And I will have it shipped to Philippines..
But shipping cost would depend on the dimension of the box..

If not too much trouble, I wanna ask your help, could you give me the dimension of the boxes? Length, width and height? whatever unit of measure is comfortable to you..

As much as possible, need the dimension on these boxes:

2012 Crusade basketball hobby
2012 Brilliance basketball hobby
2012 Past and Present basketball hobby
2011 Past and Present basketball hobby

Thanks a lot eveyone..
