What's Buzz-worthy: I did a premium box of this one back when it arrived and had some really strong results so, it turns out, I never bothered to rip any of these. In the smaller format here, there's no guaranteed ink (two per big box) so there's a distinctly different feel right off the bat -- but these are the home to some simple Artist Proof parallels and a pretty good mix of things just not at a volume that's comparable to the $80 (SRP) big box that could also have some original art hiding inside. ... As noted last time, there are numbered parallels on pretty much everything to be found along with printing plates, sketch cards and even some cut autographs in the mix. The biggest barrier, though, will be whether one likes art sets or not -- some artists' takes will work for collectors while some may not. (My gut feeling is that many prefer precise photo-realistic takes but artists will not all do that depending on their media or style.) ... This box was not comparable to the big one I ripped in any way -- for example it had 25 Rookie Cards to this one's six, which were pretty weak. I'd go with the big box for sure if you're ripping for hits or potential flips but if you just want to collect a set this one could get it done with some possibilities of more.
