If I'm remembering right, there are several money cards in that set.

Hell yeah!

The pacts:
{Pact of Negation},  {Summoner's Pact}, etc
{Grove of the Burnwillows}
{Horizon Canopy}
{Bridge from Below}
{Tombstalker}
{Venser, Shaper Savant}
{Korlash, Heir to Blackblade}
Lots more.

It was a badass set.

That's a good price. Future Sight has cool cards in it, even the full art vanilla creatures are cool.

That's about $11/pack after tax. Unless you manage to pull a {Tarmogoyf}, I would say no.
That's a bit. It is a small set (180) and all rares are equal rarity. You have a >50% chance to get a goyf in your box (36/60 or 3/5). Still though. There is good stuff in that set

Check your lgs. If not there. Online eBay or some of the big mtg online stores.

Honestly most likely just that which is in standard right now, maybe zendikar or Worldwake too.

Define "a lot of value." You cheapest value option is probably RTR. $100-110, and it has Jace, shock lands, and very many $10 cards.

You can also get Zendikar, probably around $160 (guess) which has fetch lands, a few good rares/mythics, and each pack has full art land (a nice bonus - worth more than most rares are at 50-75 cents each).

Eldrazi can be a decent value for cheap, too, but really only if you pull the mythic Eldrazi.

All the Future Sight boxes have been box mapped for 'goyfs, so they are not that great.

I would personally recommend buying a common/uncommon set for Standard or something. Very cheap and pays off dividends.

What do you mean box mapped?

"One of the prime reasons for this is a practice called box mapping.

The theory behind box mapping is that the packs are not properly randomized before being put in booster boxes. If one person were to open enough boxes (or a ton of people each opened one box and posted the results online), it is possible to go through a box and pick out the money cards with, say, 70% accuracy."

Basically lets you find the position where the big money rares are and open them.
