What's Buzz-worthy: A cheap box -- half a blaster -- that delivers four autos? That's a no-brainer to appear here. As said in a past break, this release is a simple one with a base set with a handful of variations,  four insert sets, a set of autographs and a sets of memorabilia cards. This box delivered just as it should have. This brand is a fun way to try something from the company, which has been producing cards since 1992. A minor drawback found here is a byproduct of the bubble gum included in every pack. Some cards have black blotches on them from markings from the packaged gum, meaning you will have a few cards damaged in your set or need to try using a light cloth on them to remove it. All in all, this is a solid release with a good autograph lineup that includes a few notables with pop culture roles atop their modeling successes. Ink here isn't real expensive for resale but one good name will get your money back at that price -- and most new BenchWarmer boxes -- see that link above -- are more hit-based, meaning they won't be getting this cheap. All hits is the way to go for these, but this one is a fun set to revisit when this inexpensive.
