Card That Stole The Show: The Nakamura auto is the best card here, but the photo on that Undertaker card is absolute perfection. The Banks is badass, too. But cue the music ... the Nakamura takes it. (No low-blows needed.)

What's Buzz-worthy: Beyond the Transcendent level, this hit-per-pack brand is one that I'd buy by the pack daily as every one includes an auto or Relic typically for around $20. At that price some will lose but some will win big, especially with parallels and other rarer inclusions. The standard autos here are all signed on-card, meaning you get better autos for guys like O'Reilly here who change their sigs when signing on stickers. This trio of packs delivered pretty well for my personal tastes and the Nakamura auto is a highlight, though he's signed a lot. Boxes of this one haven't yet dipped -- they might in some spots or could return back to stock with a new version coming -- but I like it all save for the heavy design here that does feel like it was made for The Walking Dead more than WWE. The color parallels here are much more striking while the basic cards can be overwhelmed by the look. ... This design works pretty well with the autographs and memorabilia cards. The base set here is one that's smaller than past years -- just 50 cards with two 25-card base sets -- and while the base set shows us the notables on the current roster the inserts focus almost exclusively on legendary male stars from the past. The two sets are celebration the 30th anniversaries of both the Royal Rumble and the Survivor Series, which are two of the bigger annual events that aren't WrestleMania. Past years of Undisputed have absolutely vanished in box form and it's inevitable that happens with this one, too. It's a fun rip.
