What's Buzz-worthy: My final Target box of this one delivered nearly identically to my previous one -- nearly all of the same SPs -- another strong one and a strong finish. ... I'm 6-for-6 on having Diamond Kings blasters (at least ones from the red retail chain out there) having nothing but short-print cards and over-delivering on inserts. They aren't the super-flashiest of rips but I don't mind them at all with this approach. Instead of getting two or three SPs per box, this one included just three base cards and the rest were from Nos. 101-170 and then inserts. ... This kind of issue can make one wonder if any other types of cards will over-deliver -- one forum member said they got two hits in a blaster. ... This brand is a colorful one jam-packed with stars from the past and present with some big names among the mem cards so it could be one to watch as more people open these. Hobby boxes (link up top) are your best bet with guaranteed hits but if you like to dabble with the chance at something more for a low price then the blasters are worth a look. You never know how they might (over) deliver.
