Any value to be had in 2023 packs?

[Stinger]

I know this is very newbie question but I'm getting into AFL card collecting and I was wondering if there's any value in ripping some 2023 packs that might be out there. I plan on getting into the 2024 season for Blues stuff but there a few 2023 packs still around.

Any thoughts or advice on how to kick off a collection, from you more experienced folk?

leave 'footy stars' & 'gem' for the birds
23' legacy is the one - some fantastic inserts to chase
**opening packs/box is always a gamble,that can be a expensive hit or miss affair.
best bet is to target singles on the open market, plenty of bargains around at the moment

Thanks cotchin#9, appreciate the feedback. Totally get the pack opening odds, it's a gamble, pure and simple. I can see myself shopping for singles but ripping packs is fun and I want to do a little of that.

I think I may have missed the boat on Legacy 23, isTeamCoach worth a look at?

Leave Teamcoach for the kids.

Thanks folks, I think I'll take your advice and just get stuck into the new 2024 season, when it drops.

the retro team coach cards look alright.

This is the best thing you can do in my opinion. When I first got back into it in 2018 I made the mistake of chasing packs and boxes of older stuff (which was much more readily available in those days - 2016 and 2017 Certified for example), but for the most part I'd missed the boat.

I've been so tempted to do this but I am resisting. Actually, that's not quite true, I just can't find any AFL cards packs around where I live
