    My personal favorite is Bowman for the prospect autos, but if you are set between Gypsy Queen and Heritage I would go with Gypsy Queen. Their hobby boxes have 2 autos and 2 relics, while Heritage only has one auto OR relic. And 9 times out of 10 it will be a relic.

      If you're collecting? Gypsy Queen. Of you're collecting to sell, Bowman. GQ has 4 hits per box but is more pricy than Heritage and most of the hits you will likely get are base ones worth a couple of dollars.

      I got a box the other day to open with my dad. The box was mediocre overall but we got a Gregory Palanco mini auto #4/10 as a bonus hit. There looks to be some QC issues with GQ this year though. We had quite a few cards with messed up borders.

          So pissed off that my card shop lady didn't get me the jumbo box of Bowman I ordered. She said she had to order 4 boxes of hobby to get the jumbo and she wasn't gonna do that. So I guess I get screwed.

          She got one box of hobby, but I'm not wasting the money on one auto that will probably be a no name anyway.

          Walmart had Bowman 15 blaster boxes but for $20 and you usually get nothing so I didn't get it. So now I need to decide what I wanna get. I almost got a box of NFL Prizm yesterday, but that's only 2 autos and the only ones worth anything at Bridgewater and Manziel.

            Can you not order it online instead? You'll probably even save some $$.

              I could and save some money, but I would have to pay it all upfront. My dealer lets buy pack by pack from the boxes she gets me so I don't have to put all the money upfront. That's probably the biggest reason I'm so pissed.

              But she has always been good to me so I just got to get over it. I'll end up getting something else soon. Any ideas?

                Booyah, first pack of Bowman on the year.

                My daughter picked out the pack too. She's my lucky charm.

                  Bought some Bowmans today and pulled a few decent cards. Got an auto and a short print of Nick Gordon (Tom Gordon's) son and Dee Gordon's brother out of /50.

                    My dealer was able to come through and get me a jumbo box of Bowman. Only $15 above cost too. Could have gotten it on ebay but after shipping it would be close anyway. And I'm supporting a local business.

                    Here's to pulling a Kris Bryant auto!

                      I just got back into buying and collecting sports cards, myself.

                      I'll have to upload some of the cards I've been getting at some point when I get a chance to.

                        Looking forward to it. I felt like I was the only one still collecting for a while.

                        What do you plan on getting first?

                          I've been buying Warriors cards and even a few 49ers cards lately, but more Warriors cards though, since it is basketball season.

                          Here's what I've gotten in the last week or two to get back into collecting and expand on what I already had.

                          I've been purchasing the hard plastic top loaders recently as well.

                            Good start so far. Are you thinking about buying any boxes or just specific players?

                            Also, if you aren't doing it, make sure you put the cards in the soft plastic sleeves before you put them in the hard sleeves.

                              I think for now, specific players. There are a lot of guys who I don't have a card of, so I want to make sure I get a card or two of that player.

                              Maybe as time goes on, I'll look into boxes and things like that later on.

                                I mostly lurk on here, but I also collect sports cards, mainly football and baseball. I've got a small but growing auto collection that should get a little bigger when my latest comc order arrives. I've only bought 3 boxes in the past, because import fees are a nightmare in the UK, so I mainly stick to individual cards.
