What's Buzz-worthy: I picked this one up long ago and yet, oddly, I realized after ripping into this one I never actually ripped a hobby box before ... just blasters for this release. Ultimately, they both broke about the same with an autograph guaranteed in every box the only basic difference beyond any other parallels not found here. ... One insert here -- one that I think is relatively unique and helps this release feel different than others -- is Evolution, a set that takes us through the various iterations of a character or characters a wrestler has used. Some of the inclusions are ones I don't think have seen cardboard before. The photography here is pretty solid in some spots but this one just felt like it needed something more overall to break up the inclusions -- two Evolution inserts per pack is still pretty heavy. The base set here has a lot of good names but the second series -- one you'll see during #BuzzMania3 -- is far better in my eyes. I liked the auto here, though she's not that expensive, and the second hit was of the manufactured Relic variety. Some boxes will have an auto-Relic combo. All in all if you can find hobby boxes on the cheaper side, they are worth the rip due to the guaranteed ink ... among the signers? Undertaker. He'll pay for several boxes if you land him.
