Autographs/Memorabilia: None

What's Buzz-worthy: This one is very simple and these boxes are as simple as it gets with no autographs or Relics possible -- just base, inserts and parallels -- so that limits the big-time potential here. (Rip hobby for guaranteed hits and plenty more.)  I'm not a big soccer breaker but these were the only available option out in the retail wild for me this past week ... so here we are. The design is relatively crisp and clean but it just felt like this one needed more even in a small retail box. The parallels do add some good variety here ... this break would scare me without them. It does appear that some of the parallels in this one have big-money potential based on completed eBay sales -- look for Caden Clark and his standard-design card here and others. If you're a regular soccer breaker, I'm sure this one resonates more than it does with me ... but I'm glad to see a continued presence for all leagues, not just the biggest ones.
