SPA or SPx?

[hockeycardguy9]

Thinking about doing a box, and not sure which to choose (will also depend on what my dealer has left). Which would you choose? If you have a perticular reason for your choice, feel free to state it.

Thanks for your time,
Jordan

I'd take spx. A lot harder to pull something nice from spa.

No experience with SPA, but I was pleased with my pulls from SPx. Good luck with whatever you choose.

SPX hands down! Just a much better chance of pulling something nice, and you get more for your money.

In general, SPA no question.

However, this past year probably SPx

03-04 SPx was my favorite product from last year and had a lot nice cards per box. The rarest stuff in SPx is just as good as the rare stuff from SPA, but overall, SPx will bring a better value.

Go for X, not A.

SPX. Good luck with your box

SPX. I guess you can say I've had a little luck with SPA, but it isn't worth the risk. SPX is just better overall.

I had much better luck with SPA than SPX this year...

SPX... SPA is tough!

Thanks for taking the time to reply. Dealer said he should have one for me next weekend, so watch for a live break

i would go for SPA

SPX was tough for me this year, 12 packs and not even a insert.....

As good as my SPA box was, I'd go with SPx - pm me with your dealers name

Broke close to 7 boxes of Spx - my fav. of last year, and with all the variety, definetly better bang for buck!

SPX for sure!!!!


SP Authentic is strictly a gamble, while SPX is loaded with possibilities.

Get box of SPx and pull Kukkonen Spectrum for me

SPA vs. SPx. Great question. I am building a master set of 2003-04 SPA, so obviously I love the set. I love the "Hard" autos on the true Rookie cards. If you are opening a box to build a set I would definately choose SP Authentic. Now on the other hand I opened about two cases of SPx this year to use as trade bait and ebay sales. For the money it was the best product of the year. So my long-winded answer is it depends on your motivation for buying the box Tradebait vs. Set collecting. Hope this helps. Sorry about the long read. Good luck on whatever you choose! Mike
