I am looking at going a master set of an NBA release and having done some research apparently a master set means all cards without parallels. I would like to collect every card in a series where possible but continue to run into releases with 1/1's everywhere. Does anyone know a good product that has no 1/1's with a good mix of names new and old with quality autos ie no stickers where possible yet still recently priced? Think I may be asking for the golden ticket but I will ask away anyway!
Realistically, you're talking about none of the recent Panini sets bar Prizm and Prestige. Both have sticker autos though. I would recommend Classics but that has 1/1s though a large majority of the cards are clean on-card autos.
Yeah I have got into Prizm, have my first gold on the way actually (Joe Johnson), will have a look at Prestige but to be honest I am probably just gonna settle on Prizm and chip away at it over time.
Have you considered some of the older SP Authentic sets!? They usually had on-card autos (part from the last year I think) & were usually really nice cards!
