If you could choose 1 unopened box to buy, which would it be?

It'd have to be 89 Upper Deck for The Griffey, the iconic card of my generation as a youngster.

Honorable mention to 2015 Topps. I'm too much of a cheapskate to do it, but it'd be fun to see new cards and see what special inserts I'd pull. I'm fascinated by all the creative relics, autos and the like, but I wouldn't know where to start

1986T Football. Wax, cello, or rack. Nostalgia.

1990 Leaf (I or II) and 1989 Upper Deck (I) are close behind.

That was a great era to be a kid who loved cardboard.

1980 Topps Baseball. First year I collected. I rode my bike 5 miles each way all the time to pick up these packs. Sometimes more than once in a day.

I would also like to have a Henderson RC in better than a PSA 9.

Better save up.

1986 Fleer Basketball. Lot of great rookie cards

One of my favorite Topps sets . Would love to bust a box again . I busted 2 when they first came out . Haven't completed the set after all these years4or 5 high numbers left . One of these days .... Brett

+1 on '87 Topps, an all-time fav, and my 1st year collecting.

Curious, what's up with the Burks obsession?

[soxfan1986]

mine would have to be 1993 SP baseball, with the jeter rookie.
sad thing is i bought a collection that had 2 sealed boxes of sp in it, held it for a few years. then last year when jeter took his retirement tour i figured id toss them on ebay with a super high BIN. both ended up selling over $600 a piece.
i wish i had thew guts to rip one, but the chances of getting 600 worth out of a box are pretty slim.

thats my choice thoug, 1993 sp baseball.

sidenote, 1989 UD was my favortie rip so far. got to rip 1 last year. only landed 1 griffey but it graded out mint so that was cool

Yikes, you must be a huge Henderson fan then. A PSA 9 goes for about, what, $400? I guess it's like me with my '75 Yount, though a PSA 9 for Yount is super expensive. PWCC just sold one for $1,093.

Edit, nevermind, that was the price for the mini. The standard size PSA 9 was $1,210.99. Just my luck, my favorite player happens to come in '75, so I need a standard and mini. Grr.
