What's Buzz-worthy: This is a Chromed take on the 1986 Series 4 Kids and it's for the original collectors if you ask me first as a lot of the Kids aren't as flashy as the stuff that has come in the years since. The real flash here? The Chrome ... and maybe some modernized additions to the set, too. This box included a one-in-100 C-Name SP as well as a Black Wave with the same odds. Tack on a Prism (one in 65) and then the Purples (both one in 52) and this was an odds-defying box. Heck, even the Green isn't supposed to be in any one box. All in all, I don't mind much of what's here ... it's just not my thing between the retro GPKs and Chrome ... though I think it was either this one or Series 5 that I first completed back in the day before baseball cards caught my attention and changed things even more. This set does have its quirks ... I noticed a few with three names among the a-b versions so perhaps that's a quirk of long delays but at least they are on the checklist. There might be more but I'll let you guys rip and check stuff out on your own.
