BuzzMania: Busting 10 2001 Fleer WWF The Ultimate Diva Collection retail packs (Hour 13)

The biggest weekend in professional wrestling is here with WrestleMania 34 set for Sunday in New Orleans and events beginning tonight with the WWE Hall of Fame induction ceremony, a NXT Takeover on Saturday and then Raw/Smackdown tapings after that. We'll make today a big day for wrestling collectors right here on The Buzz with #BuzzMania, a series of WWE wax box and wax pack breaks all day long.

How long will we go? Stay tuned ...

Card That Stole The Show: The Stratus Gold parallel -- or any cards that avoided snow from sticking together in the packs.

What's Buzz-worthy: Pick the worst WrestleMania? This rip is not that bad -- but it's close. Why? These high-gloss cards stuck together in their packs after all these years in at least half of the 10 packs ripped here, making this one a dud. That's a shame because this product was a good one -- the first of a number of Divas sets from Fleer. The big draw here? Autographs and memorabilia cards that combined to fall one in 38 packs at retail, though that's mostly memorabilia as the Ring Accessories cards were one in 37, while the two auto sets combined to fall one per 1,787 packs. (Brass ring odds there for retail.) This basic set is 85 cards with 15 short-printed cards only found in hobby packs. There is a Gold parallel that has one-in-eight-pack odds that actually over-delivered here. Three inserts here include The Bold and The Beautiful, National Assets and Kiss and Tell. Ironically, this lot included the two rarer sets that are one in 20 packs. This collector busted a ton of these packs in the past chasing hits, so the sting of the cards sticking wasn't as bad as it might have been. If it's possible to find an affordable hobby box -- and that they don't stick -- I'd totally rip one. Sadly, neither one may be a possibility all these years later.

Product Grade: A
Lot Grade: B+
Fun Grade: D- (mostly damaged cards with gloss issue -- gallery is just the best ones)
