I would recommend you look on products that have hit close-out. dacardworld.com has some great ones. I had fun cracking the 07-08 Ultra SE BKB for $49-59 per box. Also from 06-07 the EX is around $49 per box. Alot of others are hitting close-out also. I have pretty much quit buying boxes of stuff right when it first comes out because I know for the most part they will drop in price.

so when they hit close-out, does that mean the price drops? thanks for your reply

It depends on how much u want to spend .....

I think that several is nice (certainly depends on luck as well)

---06-07 EX (agreed with leedawg62 , as it has 2-3 auto each box + credentials or Jambalaya if u hv luck)
---07-08 Trademark moves retail box (each has one triple auto + 3 autos + 8 game used; I personally got several mojos)
---07-08 UD Black (each case has 10 box, average has 2-6 grade "A" auto which MAY consist of MJ / Kobe / James / Legends , but sometimes stupid UD will consider silly common Rcs x4 (or) x6 multiple autos as Grade "A" card)

certainly some nice boxes like Spx / Rookie Sp Edition might consider (as they are cheaper) BUT the auto group size is so big that its hardly to get a Mojo

SPx is not really worth it, I hit a hot box, none of the autos or inserts booked out at more than $10. I was getting two hits per pack and not a single pack had two GU or Autos worth the combined total of $20 per pack. I think that it is pathetic that a hot box didn't even book to the value of the box price. I agree with Leland to wait until the boxes cool in popularity and get them for a good price. My best luck in football came when I got my Topps DPP boxes for $30 a pop - at least then you get the value for what you put into it.
