My 2015 Triple Threads Project - Looking for people's opinions!!!

[schwood]

So, over the past few months (or more) I have been doing small projects with my collections. I have been taking the cost of a particular box, and using that money to buy up stuff in that product of just the teams I collect. Have completed two, and a couple I found there wasn't enough in there that I wanted to complete the project. So, I stopped. One of these is baseball which I will highlight here. I wanted to break down what I did and what I got, and I wanted to see if people would have been happy with this stuff if they had actually busted a box and found these cards inside. Again, take into consideration if you were a collector of the team I highlighted when you answer the questions. I am looking for true feedback on this. Thanks!

Comments :
This was my first of this type of project. The stuff I listed is just the stuff I got from my purchases. I got a whole bunch of other stuff that I didn't include here from a buddy of mine. I feel pretty good with what I got here. Nothing super high end, but I did get a nice Triple Relic Auto of the Sox. I would have been super stoked if I opened a box and got all of this out of it no doubt. Got some great PC adds, and this was a ton of fun. I figure if I wait a little while after the products come out that I could do even better. The problem is, that there isn't normally as much stuff out there to buy after the product has been out for longer. The stuff floods to the market when it first comes out and it peters off a little after that. What I didn't do here is pick up the Parallels and Base. I strictly went with the hits.
==============================================

Questions I would ask of you...

1) If you collected the Red Sox, would you have been happy with what I picked up?
2) Would you be super disappointed since there aren't any super high end cards?
3) Should I continue to buy cards this way, or should I revert to my old ways of buying boxes and then trading those for cards I want?
4) Do you really think I could do this well if I reverted to my old ways?
5) Any other products I should consider doing this with that you think I could get my money's worth in Red Sox for the prices of a box?

I think that was a very cool idea. If I was a Red Sox fan, I'd be happy with what you purchased. If you had purchased a box, you would have probably been happy if one of your hits was a BoSox player. Here, you got plenty.

I have thought about trying this as well. I just haven't figured out
1) What set
2) How to convince my wife to take $100 out of our budget for cards!

I've actually thought about trying to get as many of the cards that look like the 1986 Topps (2014 Topps Archives)
