Card That Stole The Show: Two printing plates in one box? I hadn't thought about landing one ... so it's a draw.

What's Buzz-worthy: The raucous crowd for Raw the day after WrestleMania will be one to watch tonight and this box is fitting to be ripped today as it's also a strong one -- not necessarily with the names found but with two 1/1s in just 10 packs. The standard printing plates are found one in 63 packs (actually, not that tough -- one in seven boxes) while the autographed printing plates are one in 120 packs (one in 12 boxes). Not bad alone -- and impressive in the same box. This is the last of the hit-per-pack NXT releases and the notables here are just starting to make their marks on the top level of WWE. This is one I had waited to rip into because you never know how some of these prospective stars will pan out -- generally, though these releases have been aging well thanks to an autograph in every pack. ... As said in a past break, I'm not that big of a fan of highlights cards but the mix here seems comfortable and over time there could be names that emerge and develop more demand. If you can find this one at a lower price, it's worth a rip while they last.
