What's Buzz-worthy: This one continues as a retail-only release once again this year and it's one that carries a simple but big and bold design with full-bleed photos and colorful backs in the base set and a decent amount of Rookie Cards and inserts in these blasters, which also guarantee a hit. A perhaps better buy is the premium collector's box at twice the price that guarantees two autographs. This one carried a pretty good feel between the names in the base set and on some of the inserts as well as with it having a hit that's a non-rookie (player-worn mem, by the way). One thing to look for this time? Rookie Cards do have pro uniforms for many guys. Autographs are possible in blasters and the Xtra Points Blue cards are apparently exclusive to this format. The overall feel here seems simpler and a little crisper on the insert front so it seems comfortable to me and a tad more interesting than last year, though not dramatically different. It carries a pretty comfortable Prestige feel. I will probably do a collector's box I see one next.
