What 90's boxes to break?

[jstbuch]

New to FCB but long time collector and active on a few other boards.

I am wanting to do a 90's break but am not really sure which products to do. Not looking for any particular player, I just enjoy 90's inserts.

I want to get a variety of boxes and will probably spend "around" $500. I obviously need to be able to reasonably find the product but would like to see what type of boxes others would do if they were going to do a 90's (and early 2000's) break.

Also, any help on where to find some of this stuff would be helpful!

Thanks!

Justin

I would try to find as many $25 - $50 boxes and just have fun with it, look at it as a expense towards the thrill of the rip and NOT an investment hoping for a gigantic pull. That's just me though. I would look for things like 1994 Ted Williams Baseball, 1997 Donruss preferred Tins, 2005 Origins, 1994 Collectors Choice, and the likes...

Best thing to do is to wait for auction on Ebay and take your shot! A few you can usually pick up on the cheaper side but are a fun break for inserts:
1997 Donruss (big chase- the power alley die cuts)
1996 Leaf Limited (big chase- the lumberjacks black)
1996 Pinnacle Series 2 Magazine (most boxes contain a Pinnacle Skylines, awesome lookin cards)!

Those are a few for a "cheaper price!"

Considering what the last few sold for if his price range is $500 he'd be getting 2 boxes of Tek and have $100 left lol.

Don't think they'd cross $200 each. Maybe $150. Either way, I see your point

Like mentioned before, Ebay is a good place to pick some up. It can be a little time consuming and tedious though, especially if you are waiting on a few different shipments.

These guys are pretty good too http://www.bbcexchange.com/

Thanks for the help everyone! I get a bit nervous with ebay and resealed boxes. I've been checking out baseball exchange but some of the stuff I am interested in isn't in there. Love some of the suggestions so far!

I'd really like to get some Pacific boxes but I'm not sure which ones.
