What's Buzz-worthy: My first break of one of these blasters yielded ink -- I didn't expect that -- but it's been a while since then so I figured I'd revisit things once again. This one? Not quite as eventful, but the Blue Wave card is one in 42 packs (six boxes) and the X-Fractor is one in 24 (four boxes). The selection of names here wasn't bad but I think there are better boxes out there on that front. ... As said last time, the Sepia Refractors have some good potential here with some strong photos in the set -- my pack wasn't that good on that front, but I can imagine some of the good photos I did land on cards would look even better as that parallel. The odds here are long on a lot of stuff, but there are Superfractors, printing plates, variations and more to be found here. If these boxes consistently over-deliver, they might be worth a look ... but the hobby boxes that guarantee plenty aren't too expensive -- hit that link above -- so I'd go that route first.
