What's Buzz-worthy: These are the boxes that keep on giving. Why? Volume. You get so much in these boxes -- huge packs -- and they deliver enough volume that key names will pop up more often. I landed a few of the notable Rookie Cards (no Zion, though) as well as some solid names among the inserts. You get double the number of cards per pack and 10 packs per box here -- that's the same as two and a half blasters, which is why these boxes are a little pricier out in the wild. (No, I didn't find more recently -- I just had a couple of these stashed since I found them.) As I said before, the basic design here is super simple -- almost oldschool Pacific in its feel -- but with a Prizm approach. The basic set is 200 cards and then the 100 topping that are from a number of subsets that arrive relatively often together but I'll note them as SPs here. ... This format includes Pink Fluorescent Mosaic Prizms (/10) -- I landed an Orange (/25) in my first blaster -- and they include a good volume of the Reactive Blue cards (one per pack) but they seem more like red cards to me. (Just saying.) You can see the full lineup of inclusions for this format in the gallery and in other breaks of this one -- I've managed to find a few. If you find 'em in the wild rip 'em!
