What’s Buzz-worthy: If you're looking for this one at retail, you may have to look harder than you might for other brands. It's once again only available via these 20-card jumbo packs -- no blasters or 24-pack boxes -- and they carry a suggested retail price of $9.99 apiece. The plus here? The autographs are found six times per 12-pack box of these so your odds of landing ink if you happen upon a full box are pretty good. The colors and energy of the college game are strong here and as you can see in the pack breakdowns below they include a mix of past college greats and recent stars who are now NFL Draft hopefuls. This pair of packs delivered an auto like they should have statistically as well as a pair of retail-only Orange parallels. The name power wasn't bad here, either. Your packs could be even stronger for you as it appears that the prospective pros each have two versions of their cards, giving this one an odd set size overall (assuming they're equally printed they'd both be in the base set in my book). Hobby is your best bet with an auto in every pack.
