Looking to buy my first case

greenmachine24 · 12-20-2015, 10:39 AM

Hi guys, I am looking to buy my first case but I'm not sure which to get. I'm looking to spend around 700. Could be a little more if necessary. Any suggestions?

Depends on what you are looking for. Prospects? Rookies? Vets? Or a combo of all three.

Maybe High Tek?

Redsmitty03 · 12-20-2015, 11:21 AM

Well, here is my take:

Prospects - 2014 Bowman Draft - $540 per hobby case (based on price and good prospects)
Rookies - 2013 Topps Finest - $520 (based on price and a very decent rookie class) or 2015 Topps High Tek - $745 (interest, and a great auto list)
Combo + vets - 2015 Bowman's Best - $730 (purely interest and very good auto list)

I'm mainly interested in vets and rookies. Not much of a prospecting guy. Bowman's best looks good actually. Thanks for the ideas! Are there images of the cards yet? Saw the checklist but would like to see the way the cards look before I buy.

2015 Bowman's Best Baseball Checklist, Set Info, Boxes

ForzaMilan92 · 12-20-2015, 12:23 PM

Here are my recommendations to you of 2015 products

-2015 Diamond Kings, not certified, but a ton of nice stuff comes out of each box
-2015 High Tek if you are into a quick break with a lot of nice parallels and names
-2015 Heritage High Number, great design which is filled with the top rookies

Cardshack14 · 12-20-2015, 12:38 PM

Heritage (long break)
Tek (quick break, lots of parallels)

Buy 6 boxes of 2011 bowman draft. Go Trout fishing!!!

Which case do you think is a better value at this moment. 2015 Finest at $675 or bowman's best at $730? Those two products are the two I'm choosing between.

There are some horrible and I mean horrible cases of Best out there.

Ottomatic · 01-01-2016, 07:21 PM

2016 Heritage or High number.

I loved Finest this year, the design was beaautiful and the parallels popped well. But, I haven't opened any Best so my jury is still out on the product. Good luck with whatever you choose!
