2006 Fleer Greats of the Game is my favorite box to open. It has all the old-time players and there are four hits so it makes it fun to open each pack. My last box had six hits so that was extra special. But I’ve gotten really good stuff out of it. The insert cards are neat too.

1991 Donruss – Series 2…was the first box I ever opened…got it for my birthday. Ended up pulling a Doug Drabek Elite Series numbered card which was really cool at the time.

2007 Topps Chrome because it got me back into collecting since I had stopped as a kid. I had been away from the hobby for 10+ years up to that point.

This may be a weird choice but Just Autographs (2007 & 2008) by Just Minors. It was the first box I broke when I starting collecting again. The price point was right and I have always gotten lucky with this product.

I loved opening 2003 SP Legendary Cuts. I pulled my first really good autograph of a Tom Seaver autograph 1/10. I bought a lot more of that and pulled a Rollie Fingers, Yogi Berra, and many more autopgraphs, plus some nice jersey cards.
Very fun to open in my opinion.

2007 Bowman’s Best baseball. The big time rookies and prospects along with the chance of pulling a Pujols, Howard, Wright and ARod. Just a great overall product for the money.
Thomas Day

It was a box of 2006 Bowman because it was an awesome box for what i paid for it.
Joe Holman

My favorite box of all time would have to be 2006 Topps. This product is what got me back into the hobby–I just love the simple design, the cards are just really nice to look at!
dcolwell
May 6th, 2009 at 12:39 am
My favorite product of all-time would have to be 2005 Playoff Absolute Memorabilia. I love the Tools of the Trade set. Favorite of all-time. Also you have a great shot at some huge pulls. Stunning design and awesome checklist.

My favorite card box would be the 08 Topss Co-signers. My sons are all about autographs and get so excited.

May 6th, 2009 at 9:50 am
Probably my favorite box would be 1986 Topps, because that is when I started seriously collecting. I have several older Mantle cards that I have collected over the years, but not thru boxes.
Jeremy Porter

Nice break guys!
Finest’s product has certainly lived up to its name this year in terms of visual appeal.
Thank you Mike Schopp for the website plug during the box break as well!

May 6th, 2009 at 6:50 pm
Great looking break! My personal favorite is a 2007 Bowman Heritage box where I pulled a 1of 1 plate along with a Pierce AU and a Reyes GU (Mets fan here) and a Hudson GU plus the last 15 cards to finish the base set and 2 Mantle SP’s.

1987 Topps Baseball. Got me back into collecting for the first time since the early 70’s. Great rookies; Bo Jackson, Will Clark, Barry Bonds, Rafael Palmeiro, Barry Larkin and lots more (including the ageless Jamie Moyer. Good design with a nod to the beautiful 1962 wood bordered Topps cards.

1987 Topps, my first box ever, and you can’t beat Turn Back the Clock Cards.
Marck Generous
May 6th, 2009 at 7:15 pm
I’ve opened a lot of boxes over the years, but the best, without a doubt, is 2007 Topps Heritage. We had been married for a full year before I revealed my card addiction to my wife, Heather. She embraced it and we obsessively ripped through about 10 hobby boxes trying to complete the set. She got more into it than me by the end, she would come home from work with a paper bag containing 10 hobby packs and some penny sleeves, it was great!!!!

2004 Topps Tribute Cut Signature Edition. The first pack out of the box I pulled a Willie Mays Autographed #’ed 1/1.
Mark Mosley
May 6th, 2009 at 7:22 pm
1987 Donruss
The thrill of getting Will Clark, Barry Larkin, Barry Bonds, Bobby Bonilla, Ruben Sierra, Billy Jo Robidieux, etc ROKIE CARDS can’t be beat. Who knew Greg Maddux was the best of the bunch?
Dan T. Swinney
May 6th, 2009 at 7:45 pm
2004 Donruss Elite Extra Edition I Pulled a Hunter Pence Autograph and a David Ortiz Career Best All-Star Signature Jersey Gold Nmbered to 25 Out of 1 Box
Joshua Hornung
May 6th, 2009 at 8:13 pm
The best box I ever opened was 1989 Upper Deck. The thought of pulling a Griffey Jr. rc made me shake with each pack I opened. When I finally did pull that amazing card I got so excited I ran around my block screaming at the top of my lungs. It was so exciting back then to pull that amazing rookie card.
chris runyon
May 6th, 2009 at 8:30 pm
i love 2008 allen and ginter!! because of all the differant things you can pull! base,gu,autos,minis,and odd ball! and it doesnt cost much

May 6th, 2009 at 8:37 pm
The 1998 Upper Deck Series 3 box. I pulled a Piece of the Action Griffey Jersey Autograph card numbered 24/24. I fell in love with this set and now have a complete Master Set of over 1100 cards

2007 Sweet Spot Classic. I love getting all the old school baseball players autographs and jersey cards.
Will R.
May 6th, 2009 at 8:51 pm
My favorite box of all-time is 2007 SP Authentic Baseball. I really like this box because of how interesting the letterman autos are. You don’t have to worry about not getting one because there are 2 in every box. 1 veteran, and 1 rookie!
brian baker
May 6th, 2009 at 8:58 pm
for me it was 2000 ud yankee legends. i am a huge yanks fan so having to open up nothing but your favorite team is great!

It has to be 1996 Topps because the Mantle Reprint cards in that set got me back into collecting.

I’m an American soldier serving an one year tour in Afghanistan. There is nothing more America than baseball and service to one’s country. I also served during Desert Shield and Desert Storm, and my favorite box of cards would have to be Topps- Desert Shield and Desert Storm collector’s series. Go Army and Go Topps!

May 6th, 2009 at 10:48 pm
For me it would have to be a 1952 National Treasures chase box. Granted I did not find the 1952 pack, but all the excitement that surrounded it was awesome…with each pack I could find unparelelled RCs. Something that is just with out saying the best thing ever.
Ryan Zmuda
May 6th, 2009 at 11:15 pm
My favorite box of all time is: 1989 Fleer baseball.
Great rookies and always affordable. Nice inserts as well.
bbcardzman
May 6th, 2009 at 11:23 pm
I have to say it was a box of 2004 SPX, but not exactly for the card design or that I got 3 autos and 1 GU. But I finally after 10 years of opening boxes at Christmas time with my cousin had my favorite all-time pull. On the last pack of the box I pulled an Auto/GU of Nolan Ryan with a beautiful three color Angels swatch numbered to 25!
Don Sanford
May 6th, 2009 at 11:42 pm
My favorite box of cards was the 89 Upper Deck. This was a new product with great photography and card stock, plus having the chance to pull a rookie card of Ken Griffey Jr.
gatormka
May 6th, 2009 at 11:53 pm
My favorite box was a 1989 upper deck baseball. It was so new and different at the time. The holograms and foil packs were something else. I really think it changed the hobby!
Gordon Townsend
May 6th, 2009 at 11:54 pm
Without a doubt my fave box that I have opened was a box of 2005 Topps Pristine. The hit I loved was a Jimmy Key Title Threads Game Jersey. Not much of a value but as a Jays fan, brought back the memories of when they won the back to back World Series Titles. I have always thought that Jimmy Key was one of the most under rated players around!
Justin Brummett

1985 Topps, it was my first box and I liked how they looked.
John O'Keefe
May 7th, 2009 at 7:13 am
I would have to say the set I started with when I was a kid. That would be the 1968 topps cards with Nolan Ryan rookie card. Never did complete the set.. I’ve looked thru a set once and it was a mint set at that.. All the great players in that set.. Would really love putting one of these sets together.. John

May 7th, 2009 at 8:35 am
Allen and Ginter 2008. First box i’ve opened in about ten years. The interest of having no idea who or what the card may be of is always exciting.
tom saeugling
May 7th, 2009 at 9:07 am
I remember openeing a hobby box of 1996 Fleer baseball. At first I disliked the cards, as the matte finish appeared cheap to me. With each pack I opened I grew more to like the matte idea and the overall look of the card. There was one insert per pack and a parallel every once in a while. By the end of the box I was determined to complete the set and did-except for one card-the Paul Molitor, who just happened to be my favorite player. When I think of box breaks, nothing tops this one.
Sam E

Nice box break. My favorite box is 05 leaf certified baseball!
Chad Lambert
May 7th, 2009 at 1:03 pm
I’d have to say 1987 Topps. That’s where it started for me, and it was all fun, innocent collecting then. I didn’t care what I could sell them for — I just enjoyed the pictures, stats, and making trades with friends. I built the set, and can still remember fondly the search for the elusive last card of the 792.
Jason Taylor

My favorite card box is 1984 Topps baseball since it was the first one I ever busted.

Sam McClure
May 7th, 2009 at 5:47 pm
I am a Topps and Bowman Collector (Set Builder) of many years and my favorite of those are the 2001 Bowman because of several reasons. 1. they have very Great rookies which the cards have good value even 8 years later and 2. the card is a good looking but fragile card and if kept well they will be holding their Book Value for many more years.

Hey guys! thx for another great giveaway! i must say my favorite box is 2008 allen and ginter. They are the only box brand that has DNA cards! Those are nasty! I was also intriqued by the Crack- The- Code that they had for 2008.

My favorite box of all time was the 1997 Pinnacle Inside baseball its what got me started when I was younger.

I’ve just started collecting cards again so my favorite box has been 2009 Upper Deck Series One Baseball. There are many great insert cards and the box is always loaded with more than 3 hits!

My favorite box of baseball cards would have to be 1983 Topps. I started collecting a few years earlier, but this was the year I started buying multiple packs per grocery store visit. At the time, I just wanted to get as many A’s cards as I could. Soon, I wanted the whole set. After the 1984 World Series, Tony Gwynn became my favorite player and the San Diego Padres became my favorite National League team. That’s when I started buying every Tony Gwynn rookie card that I could afford. Years later, I actually began to appreciate the card design as well. The small photo, along with the large photo is a classic design. That’s why, I think the 1983 Topps baseball set is the greatest of all time.
Lewis Fussell
May 8th, 2009 at 3:33 am
******My favorite box is **2001 Bowman Chrome** because the year before I quit collecting I missed out on the chance of getting Albert Pujols autographed rookie card. But of course I started back collecting because I never want to miss a chance like that again.******
Michael
May 8th, 2009 at 9:11 am
The 1985 Topps Set. It had select Olympic cards in it, including Mark McGwire. It was my favorite because of several rookie cards: Roger Clemens, Kirby Puckett, etc.
Aaron Curran
May 8th, 2009 at 3:13 pm
My favorite is the 2005 Topps Chrome
Debbie
May 8th, 2009 at 8:01 pm
My favorite box was 2007 Allen & Ginter because we bought one hobby box and pulled the Chien-Ming Wang auto #’d to 200. We then were able to trade the $400 auto for a ton of GU’d and autos of HOF players. My best pull ever.

I agree with one of the early posts – I loved breaking ‘93 Topps Series 1 when I was first getting into collecting.

Stephen Arena

My favorite box ever has to be 2008 bowman chrome. I received a box for my birthday and I pulled an Evan Longoria Rookie auto #’d to 150. The look of these cards is fantastic. They’re shiny, thick, and a great set. It’s amazing to look at how companies have been able to develop the look of the cards so well. I take my hat off to Topps, Upper Deck, and any other companies.
Brian
May 13th, 2009 at 7:32 pm
Don Drysdale Autographed Nabisco Card. I’m a lifelong Dodger fan, and went through the process to get this card. Drysdale passed away shortly after I sent for the card. The day before I received the card, I received a letter from Nabisco stating that because Drysdale had passed away, the card would be discontinued out of respect for the family. I’ve had the card and the letter ever since.

Since it was released, I have always been a huge fan of 2001 Fleer Platinum Packs and Boxes. When they came out i got at least a few packs per day and the cards and inserts were just gorgeous. I pulled my first memorabilia card out of a box of Platinum, an Ozzie Smith Game Used Jersey Card. Just started collecting again, just bought a few tobacco cards (can’t get enough of the t206’s) and I always go back and look for Fleer Platinum 2001.
Zach Nichols
May 15th, 2009 at 12:46 am
I would have to say 1989 Upper Deck. OK I get it! They’re ordinary compared to what can be done with cards now, but at the time, cards went from rough cardboard with wax or gum stains to slick clean cards with those little anti-counterfeiting holographic diamonds on them. Card collecting has never been the same. Thank God! Good Hunting!
Benny T
May 15th, 2009 at 3:04 pm
1978 Topps. Alan Trammell’s RC is the all-time greatest RC card…having Trammell & Paul Molitor on the same RC is awesome. Now we just need the writers to wise up and put Trammell in the HOF, so card #707 of the 1978 Topps set will be the ONLY rookie card of all time that has 2 Hall of Famers on it.
ryan jackson
May 16th, 2009 at 1:46 am
my favorite card of all time is the 1989 upper deck ken grifey jr rc, that was my first card that i ever bought and it still books for alot
Jake
May 16th, 2009 at 11:13 am
My favorite box is probably the 2007 topps opening day because, one of my favorite cards was a dice-k rookie card but it was in Japanese or Chinese i cant tell the diff. but i got a lot of great cards from those boxes. i just like collecting cards weather their new or old……..GO RED SOX!!!
Nick C.
May 16th, 2009 at 11:39 pm
My fav. product of all time is bowman chrome 2007, it is my fav. because I pulled a Tim Lincecum rookie auto. The product has a great rookie class, it is a good product and it isnt high end.
Kevin B
May 17th, 2009 at 2:22 am
Stupid maybe… but I really like the ‘89 Upper Deck set. I think it was their first set and while they have come up with some ’stinker’ sets lately..oh boy, have you seen 2009 First Edition Baseball?… I LOVE the 89 set. Not for the Griffey, but for the Randy Johnson rookie card. Randy is my favorite pitcher and we’re trying to get down to see the Giants this summer. Randy is probably on his way out and Lincecum is just getting settled in. One Legend, future first-round Hall of Famer and who knows, maybe Lincecum will be as good. 89 Upper Deck.

Then we moved and I left all of my baseball cards at my old house and im trying to start a new collection,(Im going to ask my mom if she can buy some of your baseball cards off your website for my birthday im going to ask her for the 2009 topps finest hobby box)

Fav baseball box was ‘83 Topps. It was our family’s first trip to Disneyland and my first time inside a Toy’s R Us- which at the time was EPIC- I grabbed a bunch of packs of these and picked up several great RCs, like Gwynn and Boggs, iirc.
Ian Marderness
May 18th, 2009 at 9:12 am
My favorite box would have to be 1989 Upper Deck. When I was about 10 years old I bought my first box and wanted one that was cheap. I bought the box and when I got it ripped each pack slowly so I could read about the players. Well in one of the last five packs I pulled the Ken Griffey Jr. rookie card. Even though it isn’t worth that much, I still treasure it today.

My favorite baseball card box of all time would have to be 1993 Topps. I love the design. My parents bought me a sealed box for Christmas in that very same year and I had the best time that morning, just sitting there opening all of those packs. Thanks for the contest! Good luck to everyone.
Allen
May 18th, 2009 at 11:32 pm
My favorite and first box I bought and opened is 1991 Topps. Looking back, it is my favorite because I remember buying it, going home and opening all of the packs with my dad.

1990 Topps Baseball My grandmother and grandfather were true collector’s of everything and when I was a kid we heard about the legendary card back then the Frank Thomas Misprint Card. We would look high and low buying box after box pack after pack. She would help me organize them and help me out with card’s that were good and one’s that were common. My grandfather would buy me a beckett and we would sit there for hours just looking at the price’s. But we could never come across the Frank Thomas Misprint card we always wanted. Now me and my daughter collect card’s and she is even more excited about them and she looks through them at least 3 times a week organizing them by team or brand or player. It all started with 1 card for us and 1 box the 1990 topps Frank Thomas Misprint and now my daughter has the fever and the bug to someday get that card.

My favorite box that I opened was 1996 Topps Series 1. This box had the first Mantle cards that I ever owned (even if they were reprints). It was just exciting to get such an legendary player at that time before the retro card craze spread like wildfire. I also enjoyed that there weren’t Topps Gold cards inserted one per pack anymore. I was a set collector through and through.

I loved the 1991 Topps set. i got a box for Christmas that year and opened one pack a day for many days, I was in heaven. Thanks for the great interest in a beloved and cherished ritual.

My best box was the 1998 Bowman Hobby Box by the time I finished opening the packs and sorting through the cards I realized the box had every card in the set. I thought that was cool the whole set in one box.

My favorite baseball card box of all time is the 1989 Topps box. I picked up a couple of packs from a major chain supermarket and I got back into collecting after a five year hiatus from collecting.

2008 Allen & Ginter – The base cards are great and every box has a some kind of “Good” hit.

2008 UD Goudey has been my favorite to open. Before that, I was mostly a singles collector, but the SPs got me really interested in set building. If only there weren’t the presidential cards, it’d be a near-perfect set.

My favorite box or should i say tin of baseball cards is 2007 Upper Deck Sweet Spot Signatures, for one I like the price, i like the design of the cards and i like what comes in them the type of cards like the bat barrels the gloves etc. But the main reason was the night my baby son was born i broke a tin of this and i got all brewers cards and im the biggest brewers fan you’ll ever meet, so now i always call my son the brew crew kid. Thanks dave and adams i hope you liked my story.

1982 Topps. It was my first box, and it includes Cal Ripken Jr’s rookie card. He is my favorite player and that was one of my favorite sets.
Chad Lambert
May 23rd, 2009 at 11:18 pm
1987 Topps. I liked the design, the “inserts”, and this was where it all started for me. Seeing them now takes me back to an innocent time, when collecting was ALL about the fun, and the value of cards didn’t matter.
Shayna Friedman
May 24th, 2009 at 1:15 pm
My favorite box of all time is any bowman box. I like bowman because they have some good quality cards and they have nice rookies. Thanks!
Mike Pope
May 24th, 2009 at 1:44 pm
The best box I have opened I would say was the first box of 2009 Upper Deck SPX baseball I opened this year. I pulled the David Price auto numbered to 99 and the Koji Uehara rookie redemption card, which I recieved with his japanese signature. What a great box.
Jason Carr
May 24th, 2009 at 7:26 pm
2007-2008 Upper Deck Masterpieces. They are amazing cards. I was able to make a complete base set of the ‘07 Masterpieces baseball after breaking only two boxes plus I got a few autos, framed parallels and game used cards too. Now I am getting into the NFL Masterpieces after watching your box break video! Thanks!

My favorite box of baseball cards is 2006 Fleer Greats of the Game because you can pull recently retired all stars like Ripken to the greats of the game like Babe Ruth. You can buy a box and pull both autographs and memorabilia of your favorite old timers and Hall of Fame members. Even if you walk into a store and buy a pack, you have a good chance of getting a hit because there are four hits per box and only 15 packs per box. Even if you do not get a hit, the majority of the packs have increased value because all of the cards are from legends! You do not have to pull a random rookie card and wait years to see if its big or not, you get the all-star right then and there! I bought a box and an extra pack or two and found big cards like: Mel Ott bat, Reggie Jackson Jersey, Whitey Ford auto, Ripken Jersey, and many more! In 2006 Fleer GOTG, you get the hits and the fun in each and every pack! 2006 Fleer Greats of The Game has to be the best pack of baseball cards ever made!

Favorite Baseball Box has to be any year of Allen and Ginter. I can’t help but love the classic look of the cards and am also super entertained by the wacky inserts.
Finally, a Pluto rookie card! The planet that was, wasn’t then was again.
Cheers guys, love the breaks.

My favorite ever was a 2003 Upper deck Honor Roll, it was my first box that i had opened in years. It had 4 GU cards in it and i used these cards to trade for the people that i collect. That was a great box

1997 Bowman Chrome hands down. Refractors! Chrome cards were so awesome when they first came out. This set was just loaded with top rookies. I don’t think I’ve ever enjoyed opening a box of cards from any sport more than I did these back in the day.

2007 Ultra SE. I have had some pretty nice pulls out of a $40 box…it is pretty safe and does not leave me feeling like I was kicked in the junk.
I also like 07 A & G, but my best pull from A & G was a Yastrzemski Auto SP out of a retail pack.

2005 Bowman Chrome Draft hands down. Its loaded with todays finest young stars, and the design was Bowman’s best in years.
Philip Baker

My all time favorite would have to be the 2007 Upper Deck Sweet Spot Signatures. I still pick up a box now and then trying to pull the Albert Pujols. So far no luck with busting 4 boxes but I will pull that elusive card one day!!! I picked one up on e-bay, but just not the same!!! And yes !!! I bought the boxes thru dacardworld!!!

1980 was the year of the Phillies. While a senior in high school, I worked for a friend who owned an independent grocery store. He would let me order boxes of cards at cost. While the design, color, etc., is nothing special, 1980 Topps has special meaning to me. Go Phils!

I’m personally a fan of Topps Allen & Ginter, specifically 2008. The product incorporates the greatest players in baseball with a great selection of world-champion athletes and historical figures. I can honestly say that this is one of the sets that i take good care of the base cards. Combining all this with a great relic and autograph set, and you get a fantastic product. To top it off, on my first box i pulled a bigfoot 4×4 boxtopper autograph.

Samuel Kessler
June 1st, 2009 at 2:29 pm
I am 14 years old and my favorite baseball card box is the 1969 Topps Baseball card box because the cards are awesome looking. Even the common cards from that set are cool. Just pulling out the Ernie Banks card was a great feeling. For the box, I love the design and the players on the top. I would really like to win these cards.
Alexsandro Valentin
June 2nd, 2009 at 11:37 pm
The 1987 Topps I wanted the Roberto Clemente from turn back the clock card so bad. He was my hero and till this day I still get goose bumps when I feel this card in my hands, It is my Prized card I know its not worth much to many but the pride I see in him and pride I feel for what he did for base ball is priceless and that is something that means so much to me not the value.

Chris Mays
June 29th, 2009 at 5:31 pm
The 1986 Topps Traded box. It contains the: Barry Bonds, Will Clark, Jose Canseco, & Bo Jackson XRC’s. Personally it was the first box set of cards that I ever mail ordered from Topps, and I never opened it, which was very difficult at nine years old.

July 28th, 2009 at 10:58 pm
1949 Bowman obviously because it has a Rookie Jackie Robinson also because thats when he won a MVP award and played second base for the Dodgers.

However with all of the cards I had including Mantle Rookie card . However being naive I ended up throwing them out. Also the 2008 allen and ginter cards are great I just love the design.

My favorite was the 1975 Topps mini cards. These are the first packs of cards that I bought when I was younger. A couple weeks later I started buying the 1975 Topps “regular” cars in packs. I always like the mini cards versus the regular ones because of their size.

1986 Topps baseball
Just because its older than me and it was given to me by my grandpa for my bday. Ever since ive been caring for it, when ive moved 5 times and my mom almost threw em away in the third cus they made too much space, i had to throw away some video games that were good just to keep my cards..
