I just got back into the hobby this year. I'm surprised how much product some of you open, especially the case breakers.
So far, I've learned that, in order for me to not end up on the street, I need to focus my resources to specific products...and to almost have a game plan when buying things. Far too often, I find myself to be like a kid in a candy shop...grabbing everything that looks good...when in reality, there's only one thing I want.
So here's my question to all your case breakers. How in the world do you do it? Is there some magic formula or top secret method to your madness? How do people like brentandbecca open 800 boxes or product and continue to do it for so many different products.
Main question, how many cases of a given product would I need to buy to have a good chance of getting my money back? Because I've probably spent thousands so far and I don't have much to show for it except a bunch of boxes filled with base cards.
And for those of you that don't case break...care to speculate on how it's done? I'd like to break open a few cases, but not if I can't make some of the money back.
edit: to keep this baseball related, how many cases of Bowman Chrome would I have to purchase to have a good chance of getting some decent stuff. I realize it's mostly luck, but still. Am I shooting myself in the foot if I only buy 1 case?
