What's Buzz-worthy: I hadn't landed a sketch card in a Cryptozoic box where they weren't the normal hit, so this box had me sweating a bit as I ripped into it. The sketch is a solid one with some good color and detail, so it wasn't a bummer -- there are some lesser autos to be found in this release -- but I kept ripping. Next up was the Raj -- a bummer since I had him already on a mem card -- but then I landed my second Penny of the day. With her stuff being some of the priciest for this series, I was good with those three hits. However, my final pack yielded the Emily card and she appeared in nearly 20 episodes so she's a character that's memorable beyond some of the storyline moments. (And she had a few.) ... All 48 episodes from two seasons of the show have their shot at cardboard in this 72-card that that's heavy on moments but light on description for one of TV's top shows. Not all top members of the cast signed on for this one, but a highlight among them is comedy legend Bob Newhart. Also in the mix? Mayim Bialik, Melissa Rauch, Simon Helberg, Laurie Metcalf, Christine Baranski and Brian Posehn. Some are names big here, while others might be known for other past work. The memorabilia set here is pretty huge -- 36 cards in packs and one more with the binder -- giving us all a better shot at key characters and even some oddball relics such as rubber gloves, puzzle pieces and model train felt from the set. Also possible here are dual-mem and multi-mem cards as well as printing plates and a "Cryptomium" parallel of one of the inserts. Sketches one in every 576 packs -- so I landed a rarity -- and there are just six artists noted as contributing to this release. ... The box included complete sets of all inserts (except the silver parallels) as well as a complete set, giving the collector everything they are looking for when it comes to non-hits. ... Autographed memorabilia cards and two types of standard autos (horizontal or vertical) help offer some variety as well. All in all, this was a good box from a brand that has a lot of possibilities inside. It's an A+ box ... that can be topped.
