What's Buzz-worthy: If you smell what this box is cooking, then you might be like me -- that's a retail-only rarer-tier parallel of The Rock -- so it smells like a win. Could it be the kind of card that pays for a lot here? Maybe ... but I'll readily admit that I'm not ripping these for cash so I didn't look. I'm ripping these because I like them and I found them at a good price where I bit on a few. (Only a couple more left to pop up here as Buzz Breaks ... at least until I find more.) That card is the big winner though there are other strong ones here -- maybe not big but not bad -- in this box that didn't have a hit or numbered cards this time. (The Rock gets it to a light A-grade blaster to me but might otherwise be closer to average without it.) Of all of the WWE releases from Panini, this is my No. 1 -- and part of that is I like the look of the red and blue basic cards instead of the all-silver (non-Holo) base cards found in hobby boxes. Singles hunting is very affordable and the photos here are stronger than a lot of Prizm cards -- this one's still a winner for me even when it's not a big box.  Hobby box prices have dipped some and there are guarantees far beyond what's in these, so if you like the feel of the brand -- remember the color here is for blasters -- then hit that link up top.
