What's Buzz-worthy: This box was oddly different than my first two in that it had fewer inserts -- nine instead of 12 -- but still delivered decently on the insert front with some Hall of Famers and young stars in that section. The RCs here were rough and the stars were really only bailed out by some Hall heat, too. Definitely my worst of three breaks here. ... I really like the look of the Red parallels -- those just pop ... hard with a color that really stands out and the Boggs is a classic photo on the right color of parallel for that one. ... The stock here and the laminate/gloss seem a bit rough and a bit hit and miss so I'm not sure what's going on there and it won't be grading friendly in some cases based on this small sampling but overall this one has a good feel to it. It's a photography showcase and one with a good collector vibe without breaking the bank. The hobby needs more affordable collector-friendly releases like this.
