What's Buzz-worthy: These boxes are essentially a repack product with 60 past packs along with a pack of new cards made specifically for this release -- and that volume of stuff makes this an affordable go-to where it's appeared here a few times -- more than any other for BenchWarmer releases. (This time? Because they're on sale for less than $25 a box -- hit that link.) There are some names of note in TV, movies and other aspects of pop culture that can be found here. There's plenty to rip and plenty of hits. This one actually under-delivered a bit on the inserts and hits vs. other boxes I've seen ripped and they are only supposed to guarantee eight as part of the "new stuff." As said in a past break of this one, BenchWarmer has been around since the early 1990s and the explosion of autographs since then has really helped collectors find ink from names from around the pop culture world. You'll also find base cards of names from TV shows, movies and more here atop those who have stuck to merely modeling. These boxes include a number of early packs that don't pack a lot of hits and showcase how times have changed fashion-wise, but the rest of the packs include enough variety that things can add up fast. It's a fun rip as you never know what -- or who -- those past packs might include. This one included a memorabilia card of former WWE star Maria Kanellis and ink from a few models with various credits. Some sales of what you find here might surprise you, especially given the box price.
