2006 Topps Heritage Poll: What Would You Do?

Ladies,

I want to purchase a case of 2006 Topps Heritage. Here are my options. I'd appreciate any advice / opinions based on what you've already opened:

(1) 8-box Hobby Case.

(2) 8 box Retail Case (states that they are the 3 rows of 8 packs variety), plus about a $45 savings over the hobby case which could be used to buy needed cards.

(3) 24 of the 8-pack retail "blister boxes", again about a $45 savings over the hobby case.

(4) Wait a month or so, and the prices will go down some.

Thanks in advance,

Tom (detroitfan2)

    I'm a lady last time I checked so can I answer? Well, my answer is I know nothing except what Matt tells me about cards LOL! He says save your money and buy Emmitt Smith cards.

    D: wait 3 months, buy the master set, save about $250 compared to case prices, buy the chrome set for around $150-$175, and pick up GU/Autos to your hearts content. If you buya case, your getting an auto (most likely a Topps Legends,lol) and about 24 chromes, 8 refractors and a black refractor. Take a wild guess what's a better choice.

    PS The funny thing is I bought 4 hobby boxes, 2 retail boxes, and 1 blaster. I wish I would follow my own advice image

    OK Tom
    First, it's late to pick up cases - not sure what the price will be.

    The price of product will not drop on Heritage - it only goes up, then levels off and stays at that price.

    I have never tried to buy last years products but I doubt if you can find a bargain.

    In my town, hobby boxes are up to 80 bucks.

    I would recommend the retail blisters since they have a "builtin" bargain component.

    If you can still get a good price on a case - I would jump on it.

    Retail is IMO the way to go.

    Oh please Softparade, were not living in the 60's and 70's man with horrendously cut,miscut and OC cards. Do you honestly believe that your getting OC sets off Ebay, what like 1 every thousand sets has a slightly 80/20 OC card? Is that even possible for this series? I haven't seen a dinged corner on any card I've purchased off the 'bay or traded for. Thats a non-issue to me. But then again, Im not submitting my entire set to PSA, nor am I planning on displaying them in the Smithsonian, nor am I using the 20x loupe to check corners on all my base cards image. If I were in it for the money, maybe I would be looking for great centering and pristine cards for my sets. Trust me, my so called "OC" sets are worth just as much as your "Gem Mint" PSA 10 worthy sets on Ebay any day. And to think I held your opinion in high regard, *shrug*

    Well, I was checking to see if I had a couple cards that a friend needs, and it was the first time I really looked at the back of these cards to check the numbers. I have about 6-8 cards that are terribly miscut on the back. Another 12-15 that are way OC on the back. I was surprised and dismayed. But then again I've been buying Topps for 50 years and I should be used to it by now.

    Lol soft, see what happens when I dont get my Sopranos in time? I do hope no offense was taken, just my rebuttal to your statement image Collect what you like, how you like I say. Good luck with all your collecting goals.

    The Sopranos...

    Who watched?

    I had this feeling when his Uncle sounded weird that something was gonna happen.

    I thought - would they let a senile guy have a gun in the house?

    And Bam! Bada bing! Tony is down!

    Stay tuned....
