I like to buy boxes and make complete base set out of them. All those big pulls are just the sweet bonus to me.

Look for the big hits....... Have thousands upon thousands of base card that I have collecting dust cause I am to lazy to put into sets.... Even when I build sets, they dont sell, so why bother

i start by trying 1 box to see if i like the product then if i do i will buy more boxes to get close to completing the set, then see if i could get help with the rest. also if there is a great pull it feels great because i am in it for the collecting.

I'm a base set builder. I'll buy the boxes and put together the sets then maybe try and sell them off. Inserts are typically sold off or traded to get base cards I need.

I have pretty much turned to just set building. The resale on cards is horrible. When I do pick a set to build I go after all inserts as well. That is why I stay away from most of the new products. They all have 10 different tiers of cards which makes it impossible to put a set together. I will look at older products where the market is established, buy a box or two and then buy or trade for what I need to finish it off.

I will go and try a few packs of different products to see what they look like and hopefully pull something nice and then sell it so I can buy what I need or trade it for what I need.

I do both. I usually try to put a Master Set and a Refractor or Base Parallel set together for my 2 boys. Then sell off everyting else, but of course we all buy boxes/cases for the BIG HIT!!! We are all adicts. We alteast I can admit that I am. That is the first step right?

BTW, I realy don't have much of a probelm selling off my sets. I have sold off about 80% of my base sets that I have listed. Maybe just dumb luck....who knows? I;m not complaining.
