What's Buzz-worthy: I wasn't intending to rip and post any of these past favorites of mine -- I've ripped plenty -- but a bargain bin find and some ink on the rarer side makes it a prime finale for today as Smackdown on the air right now. Hobby boxes guarantee an autograph and a second hit every time -- link above -- but ink does flow from these boxes somewhat regularly (but not every time), too. The only risk here with the ink? They come in a single-card pack and it's clear that the packaging can be a little tough on these (see bottom edges and corners) and you need to carefully open the packs, too, as the skinny stock can be easily damaged if you're not careful with a single-card pack. ... As said previously, this one is a very solid release if you collect the WWE Women's Division -- something you won't find much of in the first 2019 WWE release -- and it's the home of Ronda Rousey's first WWE cards in packs. The base set feels dramatically improved here vs. previous years and it was relatively strong in the past. ... A small base set means you'll land Rousey's RC in roughly every other blaster, which is a plus. This is a rip with potential if you find it -- especially at a slashed price -- and there's nothing else out there at retail for you to pick up. I definitely go toward these sets compared to the standard blasters as the ink just flows differently in this brand vs. the others.
