When Buying Sets: In a Box or in Pages?

Hey everyone. Just wondering people's preferences here. When buying sets on ebay, do you prefer to see a picture of all the cards lined up in a 700-count storage box or would you prefer to see them in pages. Furthermore, if you said 'pages' how much would it incline you to buy if you could see a small but clear scan of every card in the set?

Also, when shipping, would you prefer then shipped in a 700-count box (inside a ship box of course) or in a stack of secured pages in a box?

Thanks in advance for your responses.

    If you have a nice set it might be worth it to scan each sheet. Sets in binders bring in more. Tough call on the shipping would rather see the
    sheets in between cardboard and taped tight or the secure in a set box inside of a box.

    I prefer sets that I'm buying to be in pages as it allows me quick access to view the keys that I want to see. As far as shipping, I don't have a preference as long as they are securely and safely packaged.

    I'll be heading to the airport in a few hours for an early morning flight to Toronto getting there in time for some breakfast before heading over to the Expo Centre. Hoping to find something to justify the airfare and hotel...
  • Sounds like I may see you guys there. Metaphorically of course. I don't actually know what you look like.

    I prefer buying sets in pages. Especially, if they are in ultra pro pages. I end up putting all my sets in pages anyway so it makes sense to try and get them that way.
