2012 Football - Decisions Decisions

So I have the day off from work today and am going to the card shop.

I've got about $120-150 limit, so I can't decide whether or not to open like 2 $70 boxes, or buy one fairly high-end one...

I'm thinking maybe Topps Finest. I always love Finest and Chrome...

Though, I wouldn't mind buying a box of Topps Jumbos maybe and building the base set.

What do you all think? What's out that's good right now?

all three are good options . Just go for best deal .

Are college jerseys worth less now? I'm kind of a fan of college stuff because I'm a big Vandy homer - buuuut I'm not gonna buy a $100 box hoping I can find a $6 card of Casey Hayward.

Maybe next year after Zac Stacey runs all over SEC and gets a 1st round draft pick - then I'll have a Vandy star to chase.

if you buy say Bowman, its all airbrushed, no logos, just bad looking set...

personally i avoid any of the 'non licensed' stuff, the new Sage, Press Pass, Leaf Draft, sort of stuff that has 0 logos...if you want Vandy stuff you have to go to Upper Deck

and 'jersey' cards are very hard to sell these days, especially when its a hack job of a 'photo' so it has no NCAA or NFL logo stuff...not appealing to team collectors, which are my bread and butter in sales...
