What's Buzz-worthy: If it feels like I've busted a ton of these, it's because it's true. I liked them last year and now they are very plentiful in retail bargain bins, despite a strong rookie crop that includes Rookie Cards for MVP Patrick Mahomes. He didn't show here, but this was an RB box thanks to the hit and some Todd Gurley appearances. The base cards included some top names but the rookies were flat here. ... As said before, blasters don't have a ton of parallels every time but you can land a few colors here and if you land a key guy they will pay for things pretty easily. There are a few formats for this release can be found at the link above with guaranteed ink in some. These Special Edition blasters do include a memorabilia card every time, which seems like a safer rip than standard blasters  -- check out the price on the Mega Box in the sale right now at the link above ... that's worth a rip with it guaranteeing even more than this format. For now, this brand seems plentiful but they will dry up and the allure of a Optic rainbow will grow on collectors even more.
