Results from 48 packs are:
6 TT - 2 down on box average
5 AR - 1 up on average
3 FFS - 1 up on average
1 FFG (Sharks), 1 FS Hampton #011, 1 LS Pearce #124 - 1 up on box averages.
Starters is definitely the way to go for me. All packs of three had an insert and it feels more like luck of the draw (which I think would help if you didn't pull). Not getting a hit from a box/multiple boxes feels like it is happening to you more by design.
I also got a Future Star and several inserts from the last lot of three Starters I bought (posted above)
I already have a Pearce LS, will happily swap for any I don't have - Prince, Barba+$, Thurston, Foran, Slater+$$, Hayne, Grant, Morris or Marshall.
