BuzzMania2: Busting 2004 Fleer WWE Divas 2005 (Hour 7)

The biggest weekend in professional wrestling is here with WrestleMania 35 set for Sunday in New Jersey. It's a big week for WWE with its NXT and Hall of Fame events planned, and we'll make today a big day for wrestling collectors right here on The Buzz with #BuzzMania2, a series of WWE wax box and wax pack breaks every hour.

How long will we go? Stay tuned ...

Card That Stole The Show: The Keibler Uncensored card gets the win here ... only because the top edge of the Keibler Soul card was slightly rough. Otherwise, it would have been a very good draw.

What's Buzz-worthy: This was the most-popular break from last year's inaugural BuzzMania marathon so you see it here once again -- and I'll admit that the gallery is ultimately the same save for the inserts and the hits in this one (saved me some time and storage space). I also opted for this box since it's a look back at one of the WWE's star-laden rosters that includes a few Hall of Famers already (Trish Stratus, Lita, Ivory), a new one this week (Torrie Wilson) and more to come in the future (Molly Holly, Stacy Keibler and probably others). The double-Keibler delivery here was an above-average result and the duplication of the Femme inserts was good as it offered double-Stratusfaction and two chances to think back about Al Wilson. (So sad!) ... Fleer released just three WWE sets in its final year of making cards before it closed its doors and this was the finale from late in 2004. These boxes make the autographs tougher to find, meaning most are double-mem boxes and that's perhaps why you can still find these unlike most other releases from Fleer. As said last year, this is a simple lineup -- you see all of the inserts here and the only thing you don't is Femme Fatale on the memorabilia front. Atop these, there are two autographed sets, Hugs & Kisses (/15) and With Love (/5) that are very tough pulls. The base set is made up of standard cards with a mix of studio portraits, in-ring action and photos from other on-location WWE photo shoots at the time. There are 52 standard cards, 13 Catfights cards and then  14 Opposite Sex cards and then it's all capped off by a Babe of the Year Trish Stratus card. This set is among Fleer's best for a simple design that showcases strong photography and it's printed with some spot gloss and selective use of foil. This was the last women's-focused product for WWE until 2016 when Topps released its Divas Revolution set. If autographs were easier this would be an A+ product, but it's still very solid without a heavy presence thanks to the stars of the time and solid photography with variety here.
