What's Buzz-worthy: I picked up one of these awhile back and had it on the tarmac for a #Buzz8in8 marathon but have had some other wax present itself to push it from the lineup. This box delivered pretty well with a Refractor of one heavily collected team, a notable short-print and one of the best possible pairings you can find with the Walmart-only cloth cards. As said before, these boxes have allegedly been running warm at times but they are essentially are a double-blaster with a pack of Chrome cards only found here. You have a one-in-eight-box chance at a Black Refractor and a one-in-551-box shot at a Superfractor. Click here to view the checklist for the extra stuff found in these boxes. You get a good volume of SPs here (directly in line with more packs) and the same runs with the inserts. If you can't find hobby (hit that link above), this is a decent option, though the odds on hits appear to be roughly in line with other retail formats. These are all about that volume -- and that gives you a better shot at landing some good stuff that's seeded at longer odds.
