What's Buzz-worthy: These hanger boxes carry a suggested retail price of $17.98 -- just $2 less than a blaster -- but include nearly the same amount of cardboard (20 cards here vs. 24 in a blaster) and, importantly, include some exclusives that can deliver. You don't get a guaranteed hit here but you do get Orange Ice cards as well as a shot at rookie variations that are found here. This box didn't deliver any variations or RCs in Orange, but it did have some good names and at least one key rookie among what it included. This format might be my runaway pick for best retail format had the price been slightly lower -- I'm still torn between this and blasters for the cost as they are similar and the blasters do guarantee a hit. The RCs and parallels are big in Prizm -- especially if you consider grading -- and you should with this release. This was a comfortable box for sure. Will you see more Prizm Buzz Breaks today? Keep watching ...
