What's Buzz-worthy: My last one of these had a numbered parallel and a hit ... so this one feels like it's a lot more toward average territory in direct comparison with a couple of decent name rookies but not a ton of money right there right now. I did get some young talents among the inserts but also probably not in zones where they'd make the box an A-level rip. I do like this one for the most part for the basics, though all that white on the fronts still bugs me. ... As I noted last time, Prestige is, generally speaking, a brand I typically dig into quite a bit -- but perhaps a little less in recent years (Donruss got my low-end NFL bucks more). ... The Xtra Points Diamond parallels are only found here -- and if one is a rookie every time then there's some good value to be found if you land a top name -- and they add some flair to these breaks. The inserts' designs I generally do like though only a couple of them felt top-tier to me -- some feel like they need more touches added. A rookie in every pack is a nice feel here and that may be what I like the most, though most collectors will dig in elsewhere with NFL uniforms on RCs.
