I only got into this hobby a couple of years ago & so missed out on some great boxes. I have more than 10 but the ones on my list are:

Marvel Masterpieces 1996 (Fleer/Skybox)
The Crow (Kitchen Sink, 1994)
Dark Angel (Topps, 2002)
Charmed: The Power of 3 (Inkworks, 2003)
Alias Season 2 (Inkworks, 2003)
Batman Returns Stadium Club (Topps, 1992)
Xena: Beauty & Brawn (Rittenhouse, 2002)
Xena Warrior Princess Series II (Topps, 1998)
Women of James Bond in Motion (Rittenhouse, 2003)
Dawn 15th Anniversary (Dynamic Forces, 2005)

anyone stuck for hitting 10 in their list can use Jeff Allender's checklist http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/allender/jaall.htm

Good topic. This is going to take some thought.

You mean just the boxes or the cards as well?

I usually save the boxes, but only when I get them. I most often just buy the cards on the bay from opened boxes.

do you mean empty display boxes as i do want those but not full ones.

sealed boxes you want that you've never had in your collection

(regardless of the price, if the trading card box fairy could grant you 10 boxes that you've never had, which would you go for )

Well let's see..

DC Legacy Archive Box
Complete Avengers Archive Box
Complete James Bond Archive Box
Star Trek 40th Archive Box
Star Trek Nemesis Archive Box
Xena Beauty and Brawn Archive Box
Star Trek Art and Images Archive Box
Farscape through the wormhole Archive Box
Xena art and images Archive Box
Spider Man 3 Archive Box

Well, you did say any sealed box.

Star Trek in Motion
Space 1999
Terminator 2
Rocketeer
Several Star Wars

and others I can't remember.

Well, you did say any sealed box.

what if the Trading card fairy already gave those out , which non archived boxes would you go for instead

I didn't know Xena Beauty & Brawn had archive boxes,

Being only a Who card collector, I'm in the pleasant position of having one unopened box of each release by Cornerstone and Strictly Ink. I consider them to be part of my Master sets.

The Strictly Ink boxes are numbered, so I always aim to get a low or significant number. Does anyone else do this?

Sadly, no Who releases so far have offered an Archive Box, but that is certainly on my Wish List for the future!!

1. Charmed Power of Three
2. Charmed Season 1
3. Xena: Beauty & Brawn
4. Xena Season 2
...........
Can't think of any more!

Lots of card sets out there I did not do..... Money was the main factor
An archieve box from Rittenhouse archieve.....
That would be awesome!!!!! (Any set)
Hot boxes
Some Dawn Boxes as I missed those ones
There are lots of boxes out there

KADRAN00157

charmed season 1
charmed power of 3
tomb raider cradle of life
buffy season 1
buffy season 2
buffy season 3
harry potter prisoner of azkaban
and the rest i want i could buy but i dont want to buy as not worth it

Not me, boxes are for opening.

I have fortunately been able to pick up boxes of the cards I collect because my collection is so narrow. Given my time again, I would probably add Buffy and some of the Star Wars cards and broaden my collection a bit. This would be my list:

- Marvel Masterpieces / Silver Age / Universe (not sure which, but I know there were a couple of really good ones in there)
- Buffy 1/2/3 (get a chance of one of those really great autos)
- Star Wars Heritage
- LOTR Evolution (i got a few boxes at the time, but they are still nice)
- Firefly
- Serenity

I'm mainly hunting the Inkworks and all the James Bond boxes that I miss so that's more than 10 boxes

i only just started buying full boxes
so there is a lot i could go for
just bought 3 this week
i will have to find a james bond dangerous liansons at a good price
i want that janssen full bleed

There are a few boxes I really want to have (not in a special order):

-Angel Season 2
-Buffy Season 1
-Buffy Season 2
-Buffy Season 5
-Charmed Po3
-Dark Angel (Topps)
-Lord of the Rings: FotR
-Star Trek TOS Season 1
-X-Men Movie 1

1. Star wars Evolution 2001
2. Harry Potter POA hobby
3. Marvel Creators Collection
4. Star Trek TOS Series 1
5. Star Wars ROTS hobby
6. LOTR Evolution Hobby
7. Star Wars Heritage Hobby

10. LOTR: The fellowship of the Ring Hobby

ive had a chance to open each of these at least once, and each time it was something special. i would love another chance at any of them.
