What's Buzz-worthy: I found this one in the bargain bin out in the retail wild -- and I think it was under $15 -- and that seemed interesting for an Allure box and I liked the mix here over in the wrestling realm. While I don't do hockey cards with any kind of regularity -- just can't collect it all -- I dug in here and found a number of veterans whose names I actually know, a number of rookies and then some good variety among the parallels and tiers that are found here. These Shield cards are only found in blasters and one rookie among them looks like it might be a card in some demand ... so that works for me with all that is found around it. The City Celly Red card is one in 15 packs and the Red SP is one in 20 ... so that's not bad, either. All in all, this break -- since it was on the cheap -- felt decent to this dabbler.
