That depends on how much you want to spend? I would go for the Mid-Range Boxes. But it's up to you.

Boxes that are cheap and have 3-4 hits per box (Topps Basketball and Upper Deck Basketball) usually are $40-$60
Boxes that are mid range and have 8-10 hits per box (Bowman Elevation and SP Game Used) usually are $90-$110
Boxes that are expensive and have 3-4 hits per box (Exquisite and Ultimate) usually $350-$550

Hope that helps and talk to Gary (westriot) and type in dacardworld in a search engine and click on that.

Hope that clears things up!

that's in us $ ... i think.. coz exquisites around 700aud and i sort of remember the new spgu being around $250-300aud? If you're after inserts and not jerseys/autos.. pre 2000s are a much better idea.. pretty cheap boxes and loads of nice cards to look at.. just no auto or game used
