What's Buzz-worthy: My second (and last) one of these isn't all that flashy, so I'll pretty much present my thoughts from last time. ... These starter decks are dirt cheap -- see the link above to see how much a box of 10 costs these days ... or even a case -- but they could be longer-term sleepers as the basic cards of key names here might be off the radar of many and could end up being harder to find later vs. the standard stuff with high price tags from years past. There are standard player cards, Action cards and Play cards that don't note players' names but you can ID them. There are six mixes of decks possible here for the starter deck portion of the overall lineup (90 cards). The lineup for these vs. the in-packs is different -- rookies aren't here, for example -- but I think the strongest chase would be foils of better names and this one included Russell Wilson. (I got him and Patrick Mahomes last time.) Notables on player cards in these include Andrew Luck, Dak Prescott, Calvin Ridley and Dalvin Cook while the Play and Action cards widen things out from there. Is this one a no-brainer? Probably not but it's an easy stockpile and hold at that case price if you ask me ... low risk, really good volume and there is safety in numbers here ... and there could be some oddball grading potential here on the key cards as well. It seems these decks are collated in streaks numbers-wise so there is a chance some of those better names on standard player cards might all drop in the same deck. I think the Prescott, Ridley and Cook foils would be my targets here.
