Card That Stole The Show: The RVD gets the nod here -- he's not signed a ton in the past for card sets and it's a parallel that you won't see in a majority of boxes.

What's Buzz-worthy: While this isn't an official WWE box -- it includes stars from the WWE as well as other companies from both the past and present -- I opted to grab one of these for this 'Mania because of a possible autograph from a new WWE Hall of Famer as of this weekend as seen on the box. And it turns out, I didn't land Chyna ink, but I did land two members of this year's Hall class in this one -- X-Pac and Torrie Wilson will be inducted on Saturday night. ... As said in a previous break here, this release is nothing but autographs -- on-card autographs -- and the only drawback is that the checklist is relatively small with 41 signers across two basic sets (some cards are marked 2014 and some 2017 -- 24 2014s and 17 2017s -- but they essentially look the same. That's it other than parallels, alternative artwork and potential original artwork redemptions. This box delivered very well with a rare RVD auto and the Wilson. ... You get a good mix of names from the past and present and some are first-time signers in this release. These are worth the rip to build a wrestling autograph collection quickly and with some good variety. If you buy several boxes, you may see the small checklist strike, but there is ink to be found from Bret Hart, Chris Jericho, Mick Foley and Hulk Hogan to name a few. If you can find these on the cheap side, they are a no-brainer to open.
