Buying a case

[Jedi500]

Looking to spend under $600, was thinking about either this

2012 Leaf History of Baseball Hobby 20 Box Case - $414.95 : Blowout Cards - Sports Cards and Trading Cards Wholesale Online Store

or a case of 2010 bowman chrome

The Leaf cuts product is a lot of fun even though its a quick break. Lots of cool autos even if theyre not of high value.

I absolutely LOVED 2012 LEAF History of Baseball, it was one of the most enjoyable products, for me, over the past 10 years! However, as mentioned, it is a 'quick' break.

Here is a mini review I wrote back when it came out...

I have a case of 2012 Archives coming that I got for $600 that should be a lot of fun. Kinda like what you said on Leaf History, lots of autos, many are not worth much but are cool players to get, nice base set and inserts too.

Nice!

The Harper SSP is one per case, no?

Don't know if the odds are that good but it's not far off. The auto checklist is pretty solid too, good chance at a lot of bigger names. 2013 had a poor checklist by comparison. I have to think you can make your money back on a 2012 case, but I'm putting together a set for myself in addition to some of the other goodies from it.

I think spending the money on something like Bowman is kind of a waste. That's such a crap shoot and jumbos are too overpriced.
