Last week I bought one of the 7.99 boxes and got 1 pack 2014 topps 1 1990 donruss 1 2014 allen and ginter 1 bartolo colon chipz and a 1990 score traded set. I didnt feel cheated

 I guess maybe I used the wrong word when I said cheated.  Disappointed is probably a better choice.  Yes the box had the ten packs as advertised, but 20% of the packs were the cartoon cards.  It was disappointing because the other Fairfield products I generally buy don't contain any Triple Play cards.  If they had the occasional Triple Play card then I would have expected some in this particular box.  Oh well.  Live and learn.  I just won't be buying any of the Fairfield ten-pack boxes ever again.

I do what wjsenke said. I look in the "window" to see what packs are there. It is sort of pack searching but not really since they have a clear window where you can see the sides of the packs usually. I too look for the A&G packs I also try to avoid any boxes that have a ton of the Chrome stuff. I am really tired of the chrome trend. It comes from the early to mid 80s when the "chase" cards were all the flashy Chrome and "Hologram" things. Plus as you get older it gets harder to read the names and things because everything is in that damn Chrome foil on top of some other Shiny Chrome surface. Sure they are really nice and pretty looking cards, but after a while they get boring. Like the Panini Prizim because it is Unlisensed Super Shiney.

 Oh I do that as well, but in the case of thse boxes you can only see the two packs in front.  I bought it because it had a pack of 2014 Topps Heritage.

  I was just at Target a few minutes ago and looked at one of the 20 packs for $20 boxes, but I could see it had three packs of Triple Play so I didn't bother.
