[shadow=blue,left,300]$45 is the cheapest I've seen so far. I have some dealers in the city checking it out though. I called Topps and tried to order from them. Needless to say, I'm still looking. LOL ;D[/shadow]

Speaking from experience (years ago) buying them by the box initially is really the way to go. You get your box and open up the packs in order. That way, you know how the inserts are packed. This gives you the chance to pick up the single packs that you want from the comic shop or wherever and you have a better chance of getting the type of chase card you want.

You know its been so long since they offered good old trading cards that I WANT, I wasn't sure how to go about it. Since you used to be in the "biz" I'll take your word Jeff and buy by the box!

Using my method is how I got a complete set of the Batman Masterpiece cards and DC Legends series' back in the day -without paying comic shop scalper prices. Y'know - the ones with the Skydisks? Got both of 'em via the mail in cards using that method. Unless packaging has seriously changed in the card industry (and I can't imagine that it has, after all, they're the same product) you should be able to pretty much know what your doing if you keep your counts straight in your head. Another tip - make sure that you're pulling your single packs from fairly fresh boxes. If someone has dug thru them and shuffled the packs around, then you're screwed. ;D

On my trip to visit the in-laws this past week we stopped at an outlet mall in Myrtle Beach SC. While in KB Toys I found the Batman Begins trading cards. Even though I spent a fortune already on ordering some boxes I bought a pack to get a sneak peek. THEY ARE AWESOME!! Start checking your stores. Even though they are not supposed to be out until June 15th it seems some people are starting to sell them early.

I picked up a box of these today at Walmart . It's just the big box with 6 packs of cards for $10. Got to see alot of photos we have not seen yet. The set only comes with stickers and tatoos , no autograph or costume cards.
