It was all cards I had in my collection over time or that I had pulled out of packs. I don't open hobby boxes. But I open a few packs each trip to the LCS and the occassional blaster from Walmart/Target.
I used those to trade for probably 80%-90% or more of the set. I know I had to buy the Aaron and Mays. But I was able to trade for most of the other big stars. I also traded with friends in the community who had nice vintage extras if I had stuff for their sets. They traded BV for BV and not 1/3 BV like the LCS does.
