Pack That Stole The Show: The BOSS' pack leads the way with a rarer (and ironic) Bayley Relic as well as a parallel card -- and it's a toss-up whether the real boss' card or the Flair card is the runner-up. (See everything in the gallery below.)

What's Buzz-worthy: When Fleer had the WWE card license in the early 2000s, sets dedicated solely to the female stars of the company were a pretty normal sight. Topps went nearly a decade without one and this most-recent release was the second of two so far and it's very likely that there will be another women's-only release coming this year. The formula here is a simple one -- an autograph, Relic or Kiss Card in every box. The 2016 version of this one was an undeniable WrestleMania III kind of product, while this one wasn't quite as solid but still pretty good. (Autograph ink seemed to flow easier the previous year, though this one felt very streaky to me ... I bought a ton of boxes and didn't pull that many.) I'm not that big on the Matches & Moments approach but it does do a good job documenting the year that was leading up to its release. You can land some good autos in these boxes from the past as well as the present. This won't be the only women's only break you see today. As Paul Heyman says, "That's not a prediction, that's a spoiler."
