Not sure this is the single best option but if you trust the seller perhaps a non BBCE 83 Topps box.
Curious for why you say 1983 Topps, it’s just me but nothing about that year even gets me interested.

Wow, Jim long time no see.
I know I think I just came out of a coma, it’s been so long....
Anybody like this....

1985 topps football with those black borders is a nice one.
vending box is about the $600 mark nowadays
if youre gonna go ‘18, topps update or chrome update should be your only option.
Depending on your time horizon, buy today’s stuff at cost and hold. It only takes one breakout rookie to get boxes zooming.
Haha I’m looking to rip, I got the fever.....

Trying to decide if a 2018’Chrome Update is worth $500.
$3-4,000.00 for a Grynn, Boggs or Sandberg doesn't interest you?
how could it not?
28 cards....

Not really..

What would?
I think I have bad memories of many packs of 83 and never close to getting a gem mint card, I definitely am a big Ohtani fan which adds to my interest on the 2018

Cuz its only 28 cards out if a set of 100. You could easily miss Soto, Acuna or Ohtani.
If it were me I'd go with the 1987 Topps Football. The rookies from that set have been doing very well as well as the 2nd year Jerry Rice card. Also the '87 Topps UK Football is a small enough set that you can get multiple's of cards that can do very well in high grade,
You can pick up both boxes for around the 600+ range. (they for sure used to be much cheaper)
1959 Topps Football need help finishing
well, first you're starting w the wrong configuration, imo. the value packs w pink refractors literally carry far more "value". those mega boxes will also render 3-4 international affairs cards which are basically bonk.
you're also missing gleyber, flaherty, soroka, buehler, albies, meadows, bieber, robles from your list. all w multiple cards in the 100 card set, plus the chance to double down w a pink refractor hit.
as you stated, w a small 100 card set and that power house rookie class, you may not hit a home run every time, but not too hard to smack doubles and triples vs striking out. plus, the biggest hit of the product still hasn't surfaced.
Re 83 T - Was just offering an opinion / idea for you to consider. Good luck with your choice and your rip.

I am more of a vintage guy, but agree on ripping older product.
Before things went nuts, I bought a 1985 Topps wax box from BBCE. No McGwire, no Puckett, one Clemens with a huge print splotch on the back.
There's a box I should not have opened!
I have some Upper Deck hockey blasters coming, looking for a Kaprisov! He is the BOMB!
I am also more of a vintage guy but trying to have some fun with some newer stuff.
I won’t touch my vintage unopened hockey boxes that I have.
I may try for that Kaprizov and also looking at the 2013-14 upper deck hockey

True. Thats the upside. A downside is I could buy an Ohtani, Soto, and Acuna all in PSA 10 for about the same as I can buy a box.
but that doesn't scratch the itch the op wants.
overall gem rate for the set is pretty high.
and a soto 10 is $500 by itself. 😉

Yes, but thats why I said “I’m” trying to decide.
but you didnt say "i'm".
and you commented after i suggested '18 chrome, so it could easily be taken as "you're not sure my suggestion makes sense" in someone else's thread, right?
wanna get back to where you could get a soto, ohtani & acuna in a 10 for $500, though?
bc i'll buy everything the guy has...
I swear, some people just like to be argumentative.
If you cant see that “I’m” is implied in the sentence, I don't know what else to say. Obviously, the subject of the sentence is “I’m”
And my bad, it would be an Acuna 10, Ohtani 10 and Soto 9 for $500 and change.
are you kidding me? wanna talk about argumentative but then you switch the biggest card down to a 9? that's absolutely hysterical. you didn't say "i'm" and you can't get those 3 rookies in a 10, like you most certainly said, for $500. zero arguments there, rather you are dead wrong. period. end of story. going back and changing what you said, didn't say or implied is the definition of being argumentative.
and again. if you couldn't see what you posted AFTER my suggestion when there has been zero history of you even bringing up the possibility or wanting to purchase 18 chrome, then i don't know what to tell you.
for the record, my avatar is a stock photo. i don't really have a crystal ball to know what in the hell you are thinking or even implying for that fact.
and lest not forget, you called me a dick not too terribly long ago when you chimed in on another thread that was not yours nor had a thing to do w you. so why in the hell WOULDNT i think you were being "argumentative". grow up, get a clue.
Thanks Target....

fav part though. you had to downgrade the soto to a 9 and still add "and change"! 😂
Fleer basketball - odds of hitting multiple of the major cards are large....if you can get the legit unopened box.....
Old fleer basketball
What’s old lol

80’s 90’s - missed the budget - sorry
“ for about the same as I can buy a box.” I said “about”. $550 is “about” $500.
But my point is, why do you consistently argue such things. I wasnt looking for a fight even after my second and third replies. I was looking for insight on whether $500 was worth it. Sheesh.
so you're not denying your previous name calling comment, correct?
how could i not put you in the "questionable" category?
with that being said, after suggesting 18 chrome prior to you even entering the thread & never calling you a name, i still answered your concern in a respectful manner. but then you wanted to repeatedly move the goal posts on what you did or didn't say. i wasn't arguing. i told you that you were wrong. period. and you were. so who's been argumentative?
you were wrong. deal with it. don't double down and call me argumentative.
besides, aren't you the one that ended up buying a fake dimaggio. for a price that was too good to be true, off facebook from a textbook scammer story?
i say this w all due respect, your opinion about anything doesn't really concern me. and considering the source, it's precisely why the dick comment wasn't retaliated and rolled off my back. i didn't even hit the "report" button to concern or waste todd's time w such sophomoric behavior.
next time just check your facts first, think before you type or admit you were wrong. it might save you some embarrassment.
If you're lucky with your timing you can still find a 2018 Topps Chrome UEFA Champions League box for $1,000 or so.
2018 Topps Update. I just picked up 2 boxes to hold for a couple years. Acuna and Soto are supremely talented hitters, and worthy of some long term investment.
and for the record "about" or the new figure of "$550" is STILL not even remotely close to being accurate.
taking the lowest price of each, factoring a taxable rate of even 6% we are somewhere close to being around $825 probably. again, this was prior to you downgrading the soto late in the convo down to a 9.
so if me telling you that you were so far off base, it's worth mentioning makes me argumentative, then so be it. you would think when someone is asking for an opinion they might actually listen when someone gives one. i've been dialed in on soto since 2018, so i knew you were dead wrong by his card alone. but, if giving you accurate figures and a solid opinion when you self admittedly asked for one makes me argumentative, then so be it.
you win. now what?
All that remain is for you to explain why you wanted to arue over someone wondering aloud whether Chrome box was worth purchasing or not. I mean, for crying out loud, you have me in your signature tag. Up to you. Im done.
And now.....back to our show!😂🤣
it's like playing tennis w a wall. no one is arguing. were you called out each time you changed your story, figures, added words and even went down a grade from the cards YOU originally posed for comparison pricing vs box price? yep.
fact of the matter, you didn't like getting called out and that made you want to argue which is why your story changed numerous times. i lost count.
and not that i owe you anything, but you're right. i did add you to my signature. funniest thing i've heard in a long while. don't forget i even bolded "and change" which was my favorite attempt of yours to tickle the truth into submission. well that and changing the soto from a 10 down to a 9. pretty big factor there. but yeah...then adding "and change" on top of it is what had my crying! 😂
see. this is a prime example and a condensed version of our entire exchange:
now you were just "wondering aloud" but previously you clearly said you were "asking for opinions". and of course me bringing up this change is considered me arguing w you.
i'm officially done though. i'm wondering aloud myself now...which is crazier? you in general or me still sitting here knowing that the next message will be tweeked and twisted.
Jimrad, it's a shame when 2 members hijack your thread. Nice job changing the title! Kudos my friend!🤣😂

What does everyone think about 2018 Heritage high number box vs. Chrome update?
soto autos in heritage are a redemption, i think?
Thanks, that would be a major bummer.
i did not rip a ton of heritage, simply bc they recycled the same image from archives. so i'm not 100% sure if he was a redemption. but if he is, i would check the expiration date before dropping coin on it.
but, honestly with the rookie class just about anything '18 is a solid pick up and should do nothing but increase in value.
I am. I cant believe i let myself get dragged into that. Sorry your thread got jacked.
