What's Buzz-worthy: This one is very close to an all-hits kind of product and that means it's high-risk, high-reward. If you land a top guy from the past or present, you'll probably be pretty happy. If not? Well, the results might be mixed. This box was closer to average but did include a parallel of Moss in place of a base card and a Rookie Card of the top defensive rookie of this past season, so it definitely could have been rougher. You get a printing plate in every box and this one was a Prestige plate of a college standout who got some good playing time for Tampa Bay this season -- a card that works for my collecting tastes -- though not super-flashy. The autograph? It's one with potential and he could end up being a potential replacement for Eli Manning if last season's drama carries over. The patch card here is a nice one aesthetically but of a player who didn't do much this past season after being drafted seventh overall out of Clemson. Next season could be a big one for him. The mix of cards you could find here is very impressive -- definitely stronger than what you see here but the types of cards here are representative -- and it's compelling for the price (presently under $100). That potential has this collector possibly tearing into one of these again soon.
