What's Buzz-worthy: My year-long heater streak with this one continues with another A box thanks to a nice Shirt Relic sig here of a top name with one-in-33-pack odds (17 boxes) and a really nice swatch you can easily see coming from the shirt design he's wearing on the card. (His auto? It's always that minimalist.) Atop that, I landed a Gold parallel (one in 17 packs or nine boxes) and then an auto I didn't have and a top "Rookie Card" (it's an insert) of Shotzi Blackheart -- a card that has topped $20 on its own in past eBay sales. I've had good boxes far more than I have had mediocre ones with this release, which has an autograph in every pack in a small-box format thanks to COVID delays that forced the issue. The only drawback? Now that more autographs arriving for the key names here in other releases, those are starting to soften more ... but I'm still ripping as the win boxes are good bargains. (Rougher boxes could, of course, sting ... but I'm not sure I have had many.) For more thoughts and more images from these boxes, check out my other breaks. I've done too many ... but they have delivered. (And I still have a couple more A boxes in reserve.)
