What's Buzz-worthy: It's been a while since we busted this one here, so here's another crack at it -- and in my mind the pack was made with the Red Zone parallel of Leonard Fournette. There are a number of past and present stars on the checklist and among the inserts, making this a good rip player-wise. If you're a collector and not a hit-chaser, this is a good cheaper rip. Meanwhile, on the hobby side, this one is an affordable brand that can deliver pretty well (one auto and one memorabilia card every time). ... Opening this pack was an interesting one as literally half of it was retired and Hall of Fame players, while the other half was active players and in the middle were all the inserts and the Red Zone parallels. Those simply have red-foil stamping and are only found here to go with the First Down, Second Down and so on parallels that are found in hobby. This one isn't super-flashy but it doesn't intend to be -- this is definitely one for a collector who wants some modern touches without going to0 far -- and it feels like it's something beyond a basic release but without overload of inserts. There are potential autographs in these boxes, too.
