And that is why I'll continue to crack boxes but just the cheaper variety, think I enjoy collecting base sets more anyway.
Which brings me to my next point: what are some of the sexier base sets out there on the cheaper end of the scale?

For what you bought, you did ok, Seen better in update, but busted a lot worse myself! UD I have seen a hell of a lot worse!!

On antoher note, I could use that Jason Thompson Gold. $5 posted? PM me.

if you want to collect base cards, i reckon crown royale 09/10 looks pretty sweet, or anything spx especially the 08/09 set, looks sick in die cut and acetate...

MJ Legacies go for about $1 on eBay

Hope you had fun busting those boxes, I want to get a few cases over from dacardworld during the university break. Probably blow my year's savings LOL

MJ Legacy cards book for $4 each

Best base cards are from way back...... but I know you're probably talking about recent stuff. If not, then check out any of the Fleer Showcase stuff or Topps Gold Label & perhaps some E-X stuff too.

Not bad The Update was pretty brutal though. Can't wait for my birthday

06-07 Ex is the best base set around! They look awsome! Nice break btw!
