Default I know we all hate these threads, but...

I have done my research, so please dont call me lazy. I did some searches on BO and didnt see one.

What is the most FUN break? Dont care about making money back. Would prefer it to be 2010- present, but post ANY suggestions.

I would like it to be in a 70-200 range, and just flat out fun.

I want to have some fun with my kids and suprise them, after they have adjusted to school.

If it's with your kids, Your best bang for your buck is 2011 Topps IMO

2010 SP Authentic is my favorite though

I was looking at SP. They really love the college jerseys. Also a chance to hit something HUGE (Bradford, Tebow,etc.)

Thanks

Also They HATE regular topps. They hate EVERYTHING in their except patches. They literally get upset when they open a pack with just base,numbered base,or a boring auto

So many people hate on it, but I thought Unrivaled was a fun break. less then $80 a box, parallels, few RC per box, 3 guaranteed hits(2 auto-1 patch auto - many with multiple patches)

Doesn't hold that much value, but some really nice cards.

Your kids are smart, I didn;t know how old they we're so if they we're to handle them bad, I thought alot of base cards with fun facts or whatever would be fun for them.

With that said, I think 2010 SP Authentic is very fun and like you said, with the chance to hit some HUGE stuff.

I just bought a box last week and hit a Bradford /25 Rookie Signature Jersey.

Do they like any of the old/HOF players? 2010 Certified would be something nice but it isn't that many packs and you are probably going to hit a redemption.

If they like the college unis Press Pass Legends are also possibilities, lots of on card autos.

Yep, They just turned 10 and 12. Neither care for base lol. They watch college football with me every week, and love it. I think this will be good.

I think im convinced. 2010 SP it is !

is that also the product w/ the hot boxes? Or is that SPX?

They do have Hot Boxes with 5 or 6 Autos!

The weird thing is, I busted one case before and didn't have ANY hot boxes in it.

Yet, I have bought 6 boxes from my LCS at different times in the past 4 months and all of them we're hot boxes, lol

Good Luck!!!!!

I say Certified from any year except 08 or 05. Its literally the only product I open nowadays. I open up 3-5 cases a year and every time I have a case to open in front of me Im like a 13 year old on Xmas!

2010 Certified is always a solid choice. 2011 Finest is a fun break. SP Authentic is a pretty boring break. 90% of all the packs will be base. The Auto Patch from it though could make you extremely happy.

I thought he said 2010 but just looked again. Finest would be good for you if you like all of those variations and actually like the 2011 Rookie Class.

The fact they like college jerseys helps. I would personally rather break a box of 2010 SP Authentic then 2011 Finest anyday and also think it is more fun, but thats my opinion.
