Card That Stole The Show: The Bryan Relic, but there weren't a lot of highlight cards in this one to me ... despite plenty of highlights.

What's Buzz-worthy: This is the newest WWE release out right now (though a new one is scheduled to arrive soon) so it gets a break here. The hit here is of a star some fans really like though I'm not that sold beyond his present gimmick. ... As said before for this one, the format here is similar to recent years with this being a clean highlight set recapping the previous year as WWE marches toward WrestleMania. The base set of this one has been stripped of all women's moments save for two of Ronda Rousey. (The highlights from that wide likely will be in the women's set later this year.) ... The hobby boxes seem to be delivering parallels among the hits and elsewhere well -- you get at least one autograph per box every time there -- so that is your safest bet on that front. These boxes deliver Kiss Cards and Andre The Giant Battle Royal metal cards easier then hobby if you want to chase those. There are some strong photos to be found in this one and there are plenty of moments and personalities to find among the inserts. (There is some repetition of moments in the base set, though.) The parallels are bold and easy to find this year -- something that didn't always work last year -- and the design is refined and clean on both the fronts and backs overall. It's not the flashiest brand but it has improved in recent years -- I just have a tad different wants than what this one presents.
