What's Buzz-worthy: I really don't have a lot more thoughts on this one vs. last time -- I still don't know more about soccer in the last few days -- but I do know that I like ripping into these as they are an interesting rip for the price ($11.98) and that you get a good amount of cardboard here. This pack? Essentially the same lineup as last time save for one insert being found twice this time (same number of cards) with plenty of new names but still not the biggest ones that are selling very well here. I did notice a few more diamond cut cards (see last card in gallery) and you can see that mis-cutting a lot if you look at the backs. (Not a big deal unless you try to grade cards here -- they are otherwise clean but that does hurt grades.) ... Some of my thoughts from last time are below. ... This is the first National Women's Soccer League trading card set from smaller publisher Parkside Cards but they have a big bold feel to them that can easily out-do any designs from other companies. The base set here is 200 cards with a small number of un-marked photo variations limited to only 100 copies in the mix along with some parallels and inserts as seen in this sampler I picked up at a Walmart. Since this release has no competition there is a lot of demand in some instances for cards from this one -- check out this search and flip to completeds. Autographs are one in 20 packs and include Megan Rapinoe for starters, while other inserts can be far rarer (See odds in gallery.) ... Trinity Rodman, Ali Krieger, Alex Morgan, Julie Ertz, Kealia Watt and a number of others are selling well here -- with ink and the SPs pricey cards. You can find the checklist here. I don't do much soccer but this one made me want to open more to see how things looked.
