What's Buzz-worthy: The base set here is small but that's helped with a few variations and plenty of parallels and while these boxes don't guarantee a hit they are possible. The only guaranteed extra here is a three-card pack of Camo Prizms which include inserts as well as base cards,, which will create a challenge if someone wants to try and collect that set. ... The inserts here were once again solid in their variety and those feel pretty creative -- that's good because the photos in the base set feel a little limited, which is standard for NASCAR. Generally, though, the basic framing of the set has good energy to it. This one's full potential might be seen better ripping into hobby (link above) but this was a decent blaster among the hitless ones. If the price RPMs drop on this one at some point this year, you'll probably see me rip some hobby boxes -- it's a comfortable product.
