These are the leftover packs after they searched the box for the 'hits' (the main cards that have value - usually rookie cards and rare inserts). I find it's better to get singles of the players you want than just trying to get them by "lottery". Trust me, you will be happier starting out this way. Below is a sample of my collection. I started collecting modern cards in January of 1992 and by 2005 I started adding vintage cards to my collection.

I figured something was up.  Prizm is shady as hell anyway since you have to buy on the secondary market most of the time.  I don't have anything as cool as the stuff you showed me, but I did just get a jersey card with Ken Anderson/Andy Dalton/Joe Burrow the other day.  No too expensive, but cool.  I've mainly been buying Burrow and Higgins stuff.  Best Prize I have is a Burrow orange disco that I bought on eBay through auction.  

I'm inevitably going to get a Burrow silver, but I need the Christmas spending hangover to wear off a bit.  

Do you think the sealed boxes are okay to buy or are they picked over as well?
