Outline · [ Standard ] · Linear+ 2006 Classics - Ideal Box, $80 budget for 3 hits

[faulkrules]

I did this for 06 NT a few years ago and it was really fun, so I decided to do it again! The idea is to set a budget at the price of a box, then scour eBay for an equal number of hits that are all PC. Here are the results:

2006 Classics - $80.00 (BOC) - Three hits per box.
1) Deacon Jones GU/250 - $3.94
2) Peyton Manning GU/250 - $8.00
3) Jim Thorpe GU/100 - $68.00
TOTAL SPENT inc S+H = $79.94

I always wanted a Thorpe for my HOF PC!!! If this was my box I would be pretty happy, even without an auto (most of which were crappy in 06 Classics). It took about 2 weeks to get everything. I am going to try this for another 2006 product I like, Gridiron Gear. Thanks for looking!

that would be nice...but what about inserts, RCs and parallels?

--sometimes those are some of the higher valued cards, might make it tough though to match value---unless you do it locally...i find lots of nice cards in people's .25 bins

Nice job!

but yes I concur with beanschat..

Build a set or two!

and 2006 autos.. wouldnt that have been Bush, leinart, young and company.

I always give my base/inserts back to the shop eventually, not interested in collecting them or making sets but...

Challenge Accepted!!!!

NIce. Ah the look of CLASSICS. I can almost smell their musty age.

Would deff have been a great box, even without an auto..

I really like this idea. It would be a fun competition to do among the members.

This certainly is the way to go. Forget about busting packs and just spend the cash on singles you want. Not as fun, but at least you get cards you actually want in your collection.

Good concept for those interested in just collecting the hits. I opened a couple of boxes of that product and don't think my hits were anywhere near that good. At least I don't remember anymore. I have been trying to build that set for a while now, but I am still missing a bunch of the HOF and rookies. Sort of have given up.
