Getting base cards are sometimes important. I had a Dave and Adam's group break in 2012 Gypsy Queen, where I drew the Angels. I noticed something watching the livestream that the breaker didn't, so I asked for the base cards. I got the one photo variation in the case of Albert Pujols. Now, those 2012 Mike Trout cards were worth asking for.

I’ll never understand how a breaker’s delight box is more than a jumbo. Same amount of autos, so in practice you literally get more value from the base cards in a jumbo. Same deal with Bowman BD boxes. Unless there’s a specific effort to put bigger hits in BDs, I see no point in spending the extra money on them. Edit I only now just realized that you get one less auto with chrome BD boxes. I stand by my argument.
