@West Oz CardsBbut I might start looking for more breaks that send out base cards as well (anyone know of any local NFL options?)
With NFL breaks,my son has been going in breaks with Cherrycollectables lately.They send out all cards,from commons to hits.He has won a lot of great looking cards over the last couple of months.Been thinking about this myself lately.
I'd say there is definitely an element of gambling involved. More so when there are different levels of value attached to certain cards. I know I've fallen into the mindset once or twice. I find the more you get lost in the re-sale value of a card and the money-making aspect of the hobby, the more it becomes gambling like.
The way I reframe that is to just enjoy the product for what it is, I get a little buzz even when I pull a base card of a big-name player.
Like @Matt26 has said, it's the group breaks that really ramp up the gambling aspect for me. Where they only send out hits and inserts. You can pay a lot of money and end up with nothing. I've done it, but I might start looking for more breaks that send out base cards as well (anyone know of any local NFL options?)

I might be wrong,but all the cards he showed me look like there are some basic cards in there.He has around 200 cards from them,and if there are teams or players your after let me know,he collects LA Raiders.He most likely would trade or sell cards your after.This is the 1st page of many in his folder.Are you sure on that one? I’ve done about 4 breaks with Cherry now and only ever received inserts and above. Out of the four breaks, I’ve only received product twice.
Not a knock on Cherry either, I just think I’ll be targeting other breaks going forward that supply base cards as well. Better value for money and less of a gamble as per this whole topic.
Your right,i thought all the shiney and coloured cards where base.He said that someone in WA is doing NFL breaks.I might be wrong,but all the cards he showed me look like there are some basic cards in there.He has around 200 cards from them,and if there are teams or players your after let me know,he collects LA Raiders.He most likely would trade or sell cards your after.This is the 1st page of many in his folder.
