What's Buzz-worthy: My fourth blaster of the year for this brand is very similar to my previous one as half of the base card lineup was the same players and ultimately not many of those were a huge deal. But, helping this one out was a serial-numbered parallel insert as well as some decent names among the rookies and inserts ... and even one of the rookies who went nameless. (These were not corrected, so there's no rarer version that's more valuable.) All in all, these can be comfortable breaks with a huge up-side if you land big names or big parallels. As said previously, there are a few parallel possibilities here, including Holo, Purple and Checkerboard parallels and then Blue and Checkerboard autos as well as Lime Green and Gold parallels for some inserts and they are numbered. That wasn't much of a possibility in the mega boxes -- click here to see my break there. I think this one is a solid release this year and I actually like it better on the Rookie Card front in both how it delivers and how they look cleaner -- this box just didn't deliver that much. Find my other breaks of this one for a few more thoughts. (I think this was the last of my initial find ... so there might not be much more. We'll see.)
