Autographs/Memorabilia: None

What's Buzz-worthy: Talk about consistency -- this box delivered the same volumes of stuff that my previous one did except this time the base set portion's RC volume was higher. If you're a set-builder or chasing on a budget, ripping a run of these might be considered if you're not focused on autographs. This box had some highlights but nothing huge but that's OK as it seemed relatively balanced and still coughed up a decent amount of stuff. As mentioned before, Stadium Club is a fun release for a number of reasons but it has a pretty big base set that can mean of the star power is missing if you're ripping into a small box like this. The Widevision box-topper packs in blasters are a bonus here -- something needed in every release if you ask me -- and that set should be a fun set to chase. The insert lineup is similar to past years but I'd suggest more experimenting with oddball approaches there as this one is known for the unusual base set's inclusions. I think more creativity might make for even better inserts here vs. traditional stuff. All in all, this one carries a feel that seems more premium than others -- so if you're sold here rip into hobby boxes where you get better odds overall on stuff and two autos per box.
