Best 20 dollar set/pack bust and why?

Which set or pack do you think is the BEST to break or bust and why? My vote would go for 1987 Donruss Opening Day. What a great concept, the starting lineup of each team on opening day. This set has many rookies including future hof'er Barry Larkin. Not only that this set is a fairly easy buy at 20 bucks and you may find one of the hardest to pull Bonds error/rookie that " books" at 200 in mint. My second choice would be 1981 Fleer Star stickers, hint- the printing of this set is simular to OPC- about 10% of the regular print run of 1981 Fleer. For 20 bucks you should be able to bust 4 packs of these. The set has 132 cards so a four pack break should produce at least 4 Hof'ers. Mike

Bust 2 boxes of 90-91 Score Hockey ($10/ea at my local shop). Tough centered Brodeur rookie plus Jagr, Lindros and nice action shots or Gretz, Lemieux, Hull, Neely etc. Nice looking set all around. I'm not even a hockey card guy but I just did this last week for fun.

A nice older hockey set is the 1989 OPC it has 3 decent rookies, all the stars and was probably the first set ever where the print run by OPC was more than the Topps issue.

Yeah, the OPC Premiere set is a nice one, and really easy to find solid Gem Mint cards in. I opened 10 packs last week and graded out the Federov in an order I had going out - was a Gem...and I could have easily put together a Gem complete set from one box if I wanted to spend the grading fees..but why.
