When you collect football cards, there's perhaps no greater thrill than sitting down with a handful of packs to open. While there's always the chance that you'll pull your favorite player or a high-value card, there will invariably be times that the cards in your packs don't excite you very much. The next time you've saved a little money to devote to your football card hobby, consider buying single cards online from companies like BEGC Sports Cards. Doing so might not give you the same thrill as ripping open a pack and hoping for something good, but there are numerous advantages to shopping this way. Here are some reasons to pursue single cards online.

You'll Get Exactly What You Want

Whether you're trying to get a player on your favorite team or you're collecting all the rookies in the set, buying the cards individually allows you to get exactly what you want. Instead of buying packs and hoping that you'll land the desired cards, you can simply browse through the available options from online vendors, select the cards you want, and then purchase them. This will save the hassle of ending up with countless double cards that you have little use for.

You'll Often Save Money

Buying individual cards can help you to save money. While a pack can always yield a high-value card that is worth more than the pack, the opposite is also true — you'll often get packs with low-value cards. Instead of buying 20 packs for $3 each and hoping to get a certain card, you can often take far less than the $60 you'd devote to packs and buy the specific cards that you want. Doing so might not always seem as exciting, but you'll be happy at the end of the day with what you have added to your collection.

You'll Be Able To Complete Sets

If completing a set of football cards is your goal, buying individual cards online is your best bet. For example, if a set is 300 cards and you have just 10 cards remaining to complete the set, buying packs is a poor choice — you'll typically need to buy a significant number of packs to stand a legitimate chance of obtaining the 10 remaining cards in the set that you need; the mathematical odds are against you each time you open a pack. Instead, take the money you'd otherwise spend on packs and buy the specific cards online.
