Hi Sean,
I have been an enthusiastic watcher/buyer of HP boxes and it has been several months since I have seen one of this set offered on eBay. I guess that you would need to bid over $100 to win/buy one of these now. It would almost certainly be better value to buy individual cards you like for that amount of money. It is most likely a box would yield 2 common cards you could get for less than $25 with careful buying, and would probably be cards you already have or are not looking for. I suspect that the best autograph cards (ultra rare) in this set could now be bought for less than an individual box.

Hi Likorish, I said,

"It is most likely a box would yield 2 common cards you could get for less than $25 with careful buying"

and

"I suspect that the best autograph cards (ultra rare) in this set could now be bought for less than an individual box" which I estimated earlier in my post would cost more than $100. If you can supply cheaper boxes please do!

Perhaps the 3 cards you mention would cost more than $100 each but with careful buying not a lot more and certainly cheaper than trying to obtain by buying boxes.
