what are you looking for?

rookies?
Autos?
1/1?
dope smokers?

You will find only one of the above in every product. If you want my opinion stay away from UD and
Fleer....They are weak, over produced, and lack in imagination. If you going on only re-sale value
skip wax and try stealing low by it nows on ebay!

someone correct me if Im wrong but I think these are the only player you can make a buck on:

Carmello
James
Shaq
Kobe
Tmac?

Thats 5 and most of those guys are short prints in UD products only! What are the real chances of
pulling a Carmello auto out of a fleer product? No Lebron autos in topps....

I did ok with topps rookies and stars, but then again thats a crap shoot.

Good Luck

yeah i would say those 5.

i want 1/1's and auto's and rookies. what has the best odds to pull a lebron rookie or auto or game used and is still cheap?

If you want rookies I would go with the rookies and stars, you also will pull and autograph and
maybe a nice auto rookie...if you hit a nice gold refractor or numbered rookie you will be set!

No product so far this year are delivering autos...and they probably never will, we as collectors
have accepted paying 125 for a box and only getting one graph...now UD puts out 450 dollar
stuff with one auto.....If I am going to pull an autograph card of Etan Thomas, I want to do
it out of a 40 dollar box!

Check out the rookies and stars, I really don't know what the price of it is now.
