this! A major factor in me stopping the purchase of packs/boxes, along with the rising cost (even at that time 99-00, it's worse now)!
I felt ripped off after just about every box I broke open, spending anywhere from $40-80 and having a stack of base cards and a few inserts that nobody cared about a few months after they were pulled.
I much prefer buying what I want now. I miss out on the chance to pull a huge card, but it never really happened much before, so it's a fair trade.

The only bigger hit I got was in the late 90s. I pulled a Mickey Mantle insert that was a few hundred at the time. Now you can pick it up for a few dollars. |
