Better to sample a few packs here and there and just buy the singles you want off other websites. Best of luck in hitting those goals in 2016, Brian!Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13508921644099472101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1955228872063707002.post-67970159783968612442016-01-06T10:04:57.077-06:002016-01-06T10:04:57.077-06:00I think the best thing anyone can do is budget the...I think the best thing anyone can do is budget their purchases. Personally, I won't be buying as many packs as I did last year, just the products I'm interested in (Topps flagship, Heritage, maybe some Donruss, and definitely Diamond Kings if there is a 2016 issue of that) and get the most out of my money at card shows, flea markets, and yard sales.<br /><br />I suppose now I'll have to get a post up about my collecting goals now.

I found myself impulsively buying packs that I really didn't need for my collection but went for the thrill of pulling a bit that 99% of the time never came. <br /><br />Check out my collecting goals at www.cmmdto.blogspot.comJayPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06311409346600297848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1955228872063707002.post-2836959733764378552016-01-06T07:50:57.188-06:002016-01-06T07:50:57.188-06:00I was proud of myself not buying many blasters thi...I was proud of myself not buying many blasters this year. Our box breaks are much more enjoyable and serve a better purpose. If it makes you feel any better I bought way too many my first year of blogging as well.
