That's a great pull! When I got the 2013 Series One jumbo box, I pulled the Buster Posey Out of Bounds SP. Of the 25 Out of Bounds SP cards in Series One, I only need 9 more to have them all.

There are about 7 super short print cards in the 2012 update series that I'm not even going to bother with trying to own. They are so rare that people on ebay are charging anywhere from $120-$200 for them. That is insanity. Haha.

I think it makes it easier to collect cards and sets when you stick to one brand/model. That's why I just stick to the basic Topps sets. I love that they are a clean card. By that I mean the cards don't have a lot of fluff to them. Clean and simple. No crazy colors or writing all over them. Upper Deck used to have some pretty wild cards that looked way too busy.

National Treasure by Panini is the best product of the year, hands down and it's only March. For a series not licensed by the MLB, it is sick.

I am actually having an internal debate that has been raging for the past 2 days whether to buy 2 boxes or not.

They are the most beautiful cards there are, but 420/pack.

But the possible returns.

Unlike 5 star, from everything I have seen unless you get a complete skunk you will at least make half your money back. Me personally I don't collect to resell stuff though and with all of the hall of famers in there, it would be a no brainer if I had the money.

Spoiler

This product is outstanding.

Yeah, knowing my luck I'd get stuck with all common stuff. Well see how tax season shakes out for me. It would also be easier to stomach if I could get a dang job. Damn you running my plans, economy.

Whenever I can get a job, a lot of my money will be spent buying cards most likely. I think I need to win the lottery though so I can truly buy as many cards as I want

Even the common stuff in that product isn't bad though, because of how many HoF guys in it. I saw an "average" box of that busted that had a Jackie Robinson jersey. You could get lucky and pull a cut signature book/bat knob too. I wish Topps would learn a thing from Panini with that product, because it is just awesome. This is how high end cards should be.

Yup. The only thing that could make them better is the MLB license. It's shallow but imagine all those cards with the proper logos instead of a cropped shot.

Here are some autograph and relic cards I pulled from 2012-2013 jumbo boxes.
