You need to stick to hobby boxes to have a decent chance at something reasonable...

Agree I only buy hobby when I get boxes more game used and auto, but out those 4 I would take 2008-09 SKYBOX - 10 PACKS x 6 CARDS = 60 + GUARENTEED MEMORABILIA CARD just for the fact that the other boxes might not contain and game used and just be full of base.

Hope that helps you mate.

They're only offering retail blaster boxes. Yeah, there are GU in Skybox, but they are cheap as, There's bound to be a GU in the MVP and Fleer but the chances of hitting something good are slim. The first edition is retail only and has not auto's or GU. MVP has a slim chance at an auto - very slim chance. Personally, unless you are thinking of chasing the sets, I'd say no as you'd still have to buy a regular box of everything just to get the complete base set.
