What's Buzz-worthy: I've busted a number of these boxes and they consistently deliver pretty well in either their spread-out variety or with key names popping up a few places thanks to the nature of the release and the size of this particular box format. This box? Four Joe Burrow appearances (two being parallels) and Long-term, it probably won't be a big money-maker -- landing the good guys is too easy -- but as a collector I could rip these all day long looking for my school's stars found here. With wax perhaps drying up at retail (this release is a Target-only product) and hobby boxes more about hits (not what I really want to chase here) I may turn my attention toward school or player lots out there. We'll see. I also see this one dying down more once more NFL-uniform releases arrive with RCs that more people typically want vs. college stuff. For more on this one, poke around on the site for my thoughts with past breaks.
