What's Buzz-worthy: I don't do a lot of soccer but there are plenty of people who do from around the globe and that combined with the appeal of the Refractor rainbow helps make these boxes some of the biggest in the hobby right now. Much like Formula 1 Chrome, the boxes are hot because rarer colors of key cards can pay for several boxes if not cases. Basic RCs and notables' easier parallels can also command good cash here -- look up Bellingham stuff here -- eve the base RCs have sold for more than $100, though the prices have come down and, like F1, are all over the place. This box had the BVB star of note and two rookies so that made it comfortable along with a Top XI insert that's one in 108 packs and then a Pink that's one in 61. If you land a big name on color here, it's a jackpot kind of box. Atop that, there's ink in every box -- with parallels -- and big names are in there on that side, too, so there are a few ways to come out very ahead here both as a collector or as a ripper and flipper.
