What's Buzz-worthy: Here's one from the bargain bin. Some solid names and strong images help out the mix here with a number of inserts and variations to help add to the variety, though these boxes just aren't that interesting when they run hitless. ... As said before, the variations are easily spotted as they have a round photo frame on the back of the card for non-rookies. Standard cards have rectangular frames. There are some solid photos and, in turn, card creations in this one that help make a number of standard cards feel impressive. If you're a long-time collector of this brand, you should like it. There are some big inclusions here that have helped hobby boxes disappear a bit, but these blasters also have seemed to deliver at times, too.
