buy a pack of Pristine/Bowman's Best on eBay/anywhere else online?

they don't sell them over here

I don't know about Bowman packs because I haven't opened any, but I know that Pristine packs would be very hard to "search", and I would think would be safe to get on eBay. I buy from charmcitycards.com and have found them to be very honest and their prices very fair.

thanks for the input Joyce

I would like to buy from charmcitycards.com but their shipping charges are insane (for me)

save your money, don't buy modern packs -- you could probably go out and buy an 88 Fleer Stockton rookie (or more, or some other HOF legend rookie) for the price of that pack.

hey UT, I wouldn't go after pristine online if you are looking to pull the auto....

why do you think I want 'HOF legend' rookies? Because I don't..

Slip- why not?

well, because I can almost gurantee there are some people that will bust boxes until they find the auto and sell the rest of the packs. I've also heard from several sources that the auto is easily searched, but I'm not sure if that's true or not...just something to think about....get on AIM...

can't get on AIM.. don't have time.. gotta study accountacy.. it blows

There is little to no value in modern cards nowadays... If you haven't noticed you can buy almost any player's game jersey card for under 5 bucks with the exception of Kobe, Jordan, a couple others. Mass production has killed all modern cards without a doubt.

so why do u collect Jason Williams? The guy has NO talent, plays on a sucky team, is a modern player and is bound to get a Yinka Dare-status.

Btw, all the things you say are YOUR opinion, doesn't mean anyone else has to share it

Why do you get on collectors because they don't want to collect what you collect TGray? I mean, I collect game used cards because they look cool, and they are fun to collect. Most of us here are not looking for older players, enjoy newer packs, and just use the hobby as fun. I have to agree with Undertaker that Jason Williams probably will never amount to anything. I mean, I was watching him the other day and he was getting pretty hot from the three-land, but then he fouls a guy, then they throw it inbounds and he fouls that guy, so now he has four fouls and its only the third quarter and he has to sit on the bench. Oh, yeah, he's a true HOFer.

Yinka Dare...LMAO

Wouter, I wouldn't mind shipping you a pack, but they run $40 at my card shop

Is it a good idea to..
