Honestly, if you are hot on busting sketches from a box you are probably best off with Premier even though its a little high priced. Beginnings doesn't pull a sketch in every box. So if your not interested in holos, plates, and autos you might be pretty damn disappointed. The box prices for Masterpiece are pretty damn high. Even with Premier at $200 per box, you are guaranteed at least 1 single panel sketch and 1 multi panel sketch per box. And right now the base cards are going for $20-$50 a pop on some auction sites. I guess there really are crazies trying to make a base set. I was all out on Premier as a sketch card collector, but if I can pick up a couple boxes at $175/ea and get back $50+ per box on the non sketches I might just go ahead and buy a couple. Even at $200/ea its probably a smarter buy than going in on Beginnings.
