What's Buzz-worthy: This format may not deliver any guarantee hits but they deliver a ton of variety and that means potential for some fun breaks and good cumulative value if you land a run of a name or two more than once. For the suggested retail price, you can do pretty well but if you want to try for big flips, hit those hobby boxes. Variations aren't as obviously spotted on the card fronts this time -- if you flip them over and see the back photo lined with checkered flags then you have an SP. They are noted in the gallery below for 10 drivers but it appears those cards have parallels, too. (I'd assume across the board on all versions but have not seen that noted anywhere officially.) This box's versions actually had their nicknames as the card number ... so there are other ways to know you have one. That wasn't the case in my last box. Highlights this time are the Jimmie Johnson base card and Prizm parallel as well as the Deegan appearance though none of them are really money cards this time. My run of base cards was pretty rough other than the Johnson card if you ask me. ... The mix of past, present and future stars here is one that is strong -- and it may feel like its plentiful now. But, once they dry up (and they could given demand for pretty much anything on Prizm stock these days) there could be some money made on key names' mid-range rare stuff as well as the obvious scarce cards and hits.
