Should I get 2014 for the holidays this year? or is it wise to wait for 2015

I think it would be smarter to wait for 2015 because you can pull a ton of packs and sell for high before the market establishes.

I meant BLASTER BOX guys! Hoping for hobby's for Christmas but can't decide which one to ask for. Might go Panini. Possibly Bowman or Bowman Platinum.

Some good websites I reccomend:

baseballcardshop.net/ - Carries mostly stock bases like Allen and Ginter or Topps 2014 Series not really high quality boxes like Topps Threads, Panini etc. but cheap also carries singular packs. 

www.dacardworld.com/ - Carries both stock and high quality. Medium priced and lets you buy in bulk (ex. 6 cases of Bowman Chrome). 

www.comc.com/ - Carries singular cards from any kind of box you can imagine. Carries triple threads cards, Beckett grades cards, auto relics, sigs, Bowman, any thing you can think of.

 www.laytonsportscards.com/baseball-breaks/ - Buy a box and you get a live break of your cards. You usually pick a team and he opens up a pack. If he gets any cards of that team you picked you get those cards. Currently carrying Classics, Inception, and Topps Five Stars.

I usually buy off ebay since box prices are most likely lower than in stores. A blaster costs $17-18 rather than the $20 at target/walmart.

My Bowman Platinum Hobby I got earlier this year was pretty weak, and overall they don't have many high quality autos. Topps Chrome was a great box for me and it's pretty low in price now (around $50) for the quality autos and color you get

do you suggest jumbo hobby boxes? An extra auto and a relic? Currently about to buy a 2013 series 1 hobby box.

I like to look at the 2012-2013 value boxes. Sometimes you'll find good deals there.

Hobby Boxes aren't waste. For one hobby box I can probably get 30 cards autographed.

how do you get 30 autographed cards?

Step 1-Show up 5-10 minutes before the ballpark opens
Step 2-Go down to the dugout (I go vistors, smaller crowd and usually only ones on field)
Step 3-Scream for players and hope they sign your card(s).

I got a box of donruss series 2(my only hobby box this year) and my pulls so far have been pretty good. Got a Matt Shoemaker diecut auto and a Ichiro relic /25. Prices are pretty reasonable at +/-$55/60 and comes with 3 hits.

that or panini Prizm is what I'm leaning towards

[avley]

I don't buy panini no logos=No buy. Only reason to buy panini is Ichiro and Weiters

[Moss44]

The box break pretty much sucked. No inserts or anything. I think I got maybe 6 base cards. James McDonald, Cutch, Neil Walker, Casey McGehee, Pedro Alvarez, and Jose Tabata
