Debating which hockey box to try...

[dalecasey]

My local hobby shop dealer has some hockey specials from three different companies.
I'm debating which to buy:
2013-14 Ultimate Collection pack for $85.
2013-14 Panini Titanium hobby box (5 packs x 4 cards) for $58.
2013-14 ITG Used box (four cards) for $85.
These are in Canadian prices, taxes in.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Bruce

I was a big fan of ITGU this year although the resale value has dropped. However, you usually get at least one low numbered memorabilia card (20 copies or less) and sometimes more than one with the potential for some huge vintage hits.

Without putting too fine a point on it, this is like asking how you'd like to be kicked in the junk.

With vintage GU in the mix, I'd say ITGU but I'm a sucker for vintage GU...

I would stay away from Ultimate. Even at that price point it is really not worth the money. Maybe at $65.00 it would be.

I'm going to try a box of ITGU.

i think that the ITGU is the least of a crapshoot... i have bought all 3 of these products during the year, and if i had $85 to blow with those 3 choices, i would do the ITGU.

Now we need to see the results!

Yeah, that is some slim pickings there, but if I had to pick one , ( and I did pick it, twice!), I'd go with the ITG Used.

Happy with my choice of ITG Used.
Quad Franchises Bruins card of Neely, Thornton, Rask and Bourque.
Past, Present & Future card of Nick Ritchie, Teemu Selanne and Steve Yzerman.
Classic Scraps card of Patrick Roy and Mike Vernon.
Patch card out of 3 of Dion Phaneuf:

The Bruins card is for my PC, the rest are on eBay.

You will typically hit something decent in the ITGU. I have seen some really bad Titanium and Ultimate breaks.
