Is $90 a box a good price for a case fresh box?

I think so....if it is your mission to bust some packs, have some funs, and search for a key rookies and HOF'ers.

If you are wanting to say, put a set together, then I imagine you could buy a set on ebay and add a PSA 9 Tony Gwynn and Ryan Sandberg for about that same price.

Clear Skies,
Mark

i am just looking to bust some packs and maybe send a few out to be graded.I already have the set.

That's definitely a fair price for a case fresh box of those. Fun year to open, by the way - I'd pull the trigger. The very trusted BBCE is selling them for $135 if that makes you feel any better.

That does make me feel better.My local dealer has them and I trust him very much and consider him a close friend.

Keep me in mind if you come across any Yaz or Fisk cards!

justmichael · March 18, 2008 1:20AM

Will do.

Have fun - and scans always make it more enjoyable for the rest of us!

ajw · March 18, 2008 4:32AM

Mike, please let me know if you have any extra All-Stars. I've got a few, but need most of them. Just looking for nice quality raw cards; no need for PSA 10s.

Stone193 · March 18, 2008 4:38AM

Good luck Mike.

I bought 4 vending boxes a few yrs ago - unfortunately I did have problems with centering.

I was able to score this nice Ryno! Unfortunately all the Boggs and Gwynn cards were OC.

Always a treat to open packs!

Good luck with the break later tonight Mike. Sounds like you got a great deal. The '83 set is a sweet one, I'm working on a PSA 9 '83 set right now.

RipublicaninMass · March 18, 2008 4:50AM

I'd be interested in any red sox

justmichael · March 18, 2008 4:53AM

Thanks for all the advice and well wishes.

$90 for a box is fery reasonable. My local shop has them for $150 per box.

justmichael · March 18, 2008 6:27AM

I have seen packs opened from the half box I picked and centering was great on every card.Plus none of the big 3 were pulled from the half box.i figured I had good odds with it so I said what the hell.
Mike

$150/box is such an early 90s price.... $90 will get you 2 vending boxes (1000 random cards). i've always had good luck with them quality wise. centering will be a gamble no matter what you buy.
