What's Buzz-worthy: These tins are a bit of an enigma that I ultimately skipped for the most back when they arrived last year (at least in comparison to other WWE releases) but they're in stock in the store (link up top) for the first time at a price that is a little more palatable and that can make the miss boxes here sting a little less and make the wins a bit stronger. These tins carried, oddly, a suggested retail price of $30 but are ultimately a small box pack and card wise but with a hit in every tin. Sometimes that will be a Relic, sometimes that will be autographs or autographed Relics. This box? A parallel of perhaps the auto I'd want the most here for new champ and Star Wars The Mandalorian Season 2 cast member Sasha Banks. The stock here on everything is super-thin and will showcase nicks easily with bold colors, too, and that's even more important with on-card autographs here ... so it's a good thing to have them on-card but they may not be 9.5/10 fresh as often as you might want. There's a full array of stuff possibly found here, too, but ink may not flow as well as it should in many minds -- the odds start at one in 41 packs (11 boxes). That seems high but I have not opened enough of these to know if it's reality or just a work. My parallel is one in 81. Hobby boxes have three guaranteed autos per master box but have dried up like a lot of WWE hobby boxes out there. I'd definitely go the hobby box route first if it's an option for similar cash but these can surprise just like this one did. I barely ripped any of this (just two previous tins if I remember correctly) but this one was a win ... my next one? Back to reality ... but I still liked some of its inclusions. (In other words, look for one more of these at some point in the coming weeks.) The design here is simple and there are some highlights for sure ... but I think the packaging ratios and such were optimized for hobby and not for formats like this one. But at a reduced price it's a box worth a look considering how stuff out there is selling well these days.
