What's Buzz-worthy: While it might seem that this is one stacked little box, the results you see here are for the most part within range of one box's typical contents save for the Green Wave auto, which is one in 50 packs. You get a good chunk of  a base set in these boxes and this one included some notables there as well as in the inserts. The color and numbered stuff flows well here and the ink is guaranteed one per mini box. All in all, it's a tight little package of stuff -- I only think it could be more fun if there was more to be found per box -- can we make the minis a little meatier with, say, 10 packs? I don't do a lot of soccer but this is the kind of set that could appeal to both beginners and veteran collectors.
