What should I buy with my last $50 of Ebay bucks?

I want to get something unopened that I could rip without regret. Would be nice to have the chance to make a little money on grading some cards.

Right now I am looking at either a 1981 Fleer box for around $50 or a 1986 Topps box or 2 for a bit less. The '86 box has some killer cards in PSA 10, but there is a reason for that ----- they don't really exist.

Any suggestions on which one or anything else I should look at? Thanks, Tom

    I would say a box of 88 Topps football costs about the same as an 86 Topps baseball and you're more likely to get something gradable. If you hit a high grade Bo that would be worthwhile.

    Edited because I said 86 topps football originally and meant baseball

    For those of you holding your breath upon my last purchases, this is what I bought with my $160 in ebay bucks:

    unopened cello box of 1988 Topps football
    unopened wax box of 1981 Fleer star stickers
    3 unopened p acks of 1981 Fleer wax
    3 Cubs commons for my 1970 - 1972 Cubs team sets
    1955 Tom Landry (looks like a solid 8!

    just looking for some fun and possible to make some money.

    Toss in $15 in cash and you can roll the dice on a hobby box of Topps Heritage. It's free $$ and a fun rip. Get the right card(s) and you can make some $$. It's fun too!!!

    Congrats on the pickups. Hope you get some gradable cards in there. Like the choice on the 88 Football. A nice Bo rookie would be sweet.

    You should buy DIMEMAN a PSA graded Tony Romo card.
