The box: 2022 AEW Allure wrestling cards

Keep reading to see a full breakdown and gallery from this one.

Packs per box: 5
Cards per pack: 6
Cards in this box: 30
Base set completion: 15 of 100 (15 percent)
Duplicates: 0

Base cards – Ricky Starks, Athena, Keith Lee, Colten Gunn, Brody King, Britt Baker, Skye Blue, Anthony Bowens, Abadon, Excalibur, The Blade, Luchasaurus, Scorpio Sky, Bryce Remsburg, Evil Uno

Rookie Cards – None are noted on-card via a RC logo, but anyone in base set without previous-year AEW, WWE, WCW, Impact, Panini Lucha Libre AAA or BBM (Japan) or Leaf in-pack cards is likely a RC here based on traditional definitions. (So there are some this time but perhaps not as many as last time.)

Table parallel Horizontal (1) – Darby Allin
Red Rainbow Horizontal (1) – Kenny Omega
Title Ambitions (1) – Lee Moriarty
Red & Orange Color Flow (1) – MJF

Autographs/Memorabilia: None

What's Buzz-worthy: In some ways, this box was average but in other ways it delivered pretty well -- and that's the collector magic that is in this one ... at least when I find this at bargain-bin pricing. This box was lean on the star power among the base-card half of the box, save for some younger names, while the inserts packed some good names in there in spots but still perhaps not as strong as this one can be often. It always has variety, color and flash, though, and I like this one as it is a chromed-out tiered release with plenty of star power, a good volume of Rookie Cards (first times in packs) and a lot of colorful potential and parallels but the possibility of potential hits (autographs and memorabilia) isn't regular even in hobby boxes. This is my last of a batch found at a dirt-cheap price but I'll likely rip more of stuff like this one as new-release prices are still not in range with typical inclusions. I'd rather dabble here on the cheap and have misses than one big-price box miss big.

Product Grade: A-
