My best was Upper Deck Legends. Then, I think you have to consider SP Authentic as well.

i dont mean to hijack this thread or anything but you seem to collect more than one set of cards and I was wondering how much you expect to spend on cards every season.

I admit to mainly enjoying the "rush" of opening packs and getting a good pull as well. It's just so much fun. Now, do I have any unopened packs around here... laugh.gif

My favorite for base set last year was Upper Deck, pulled the Eli Manning and Fitzgerald parallels #/50. I also liked Leaf Rookies and Stars for their base set. As for the best inserts and rookies, I would have to say Contenders was my favorite. I pulled 4 autos including a dual Roethlisberger/Losman, Willie Parker, Wes Welker and someone else (coach). Foundations was a close second with a Joey Harrington patch #/50, Dual auto Rivers and Boller.

Bob, I can use some of them unopened packs. I have not opened anything in a week. I am having withdrawl symptoms! I am sorting through cards already sorted.

I found three 5,000 count boxes of commons in the closet today that needed to be sorted.......I started on the first box tonight....got through about 1,000 cards, put them all back in the box, sealed them and put them back in the closet....not worth the effort with all the new stuff I need to sort!!!!!!

Sorting cards is not too bad, but beleive me I have enough of my own sorting to do. I started sorting some odds and ends about a month ago, I started with 2 1600 count boxes. I finished about 60%, then I found three 800 count boxes of mixed up cards that needed sorted in with my other cards. I am worse off now than I was before I started.

Guess that depends on how many you have that need sorted. When you're talking hundreds of thousands like me, then the amount of sorting becomes overwhelming. sad.gif
