BuzzMania4: Busting some WWE repacks (Hour 11)

The biggest weekend in pro wrestling is here with WrestleMania 37 set for Saturday and Sunday from Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Fla. We'll make today a big day for wrestling collectors right here on The Buzz with #BuzzMania4, a series of WWE wax box/pack breaks.

This is Hour 11 ... some older cheap retail repacks that have potential to surprise with older packs if you have some luck.

Mystery Box 3 contents

Wrestling Mystery Box -- Each included 15 loose WWE cards that (warning) did not survive the years bouncing around the box (and one mistakenly included about a pack's worth of UFC), six unopened packs (see gallery), a wrapped stack of Power Chipz and magnetic ball from that game (no instructions) and then one hit (typically a blaster hit pack).

A 2012-ish repack ...

Five-pack cube -- All packs of 2011 Topps WWE (retail loosie packs so the hits are possible)

An older repack ...

Deck & pack cube -- One past Raw Deal starter deck (Ted DiBiase), two retail packs of 2007 Topps Heritage WWE and two retail packs of 2007 Topps WWE Action

Notables on base cards: See gallery for results

Insert cards: See gallery for results

Hit 3 ... A perfect card.

Autographs/Memorabilia: 3
2010 Topps WWE Elimination Chamber Mat Relics (1) – Maryse
2013 Topps WWE Shirt Relics (2) – Wade Barrett, Dolph Ziggler

Card That Stole The Show: I'll go with the Maryse Relic since it's flawless ... and a card of a star I'd collect more than the others I found.

What's Buzz-worthy: I grabbed these recently when they were on sale (a smidge lower than they might be now) just to show how the variety of what's possible actually could pay off with a lot of luck. Why? A lot of the stuff found in these has dried up -- like the Topps Heritage packs found twice in one of the Mystery Boxes -- rather dramatically in the last couple years since these were created. (The cubes are older from around 2011-12 and then perhaps as old as 2007-08 for the deck.) The mix here is decent but not premium save for the packs that might go for a little more now than then. The Heritage Target pack, like I mentioned in a previous hour today, is the home of some big autos at one in 120 packs. This time? A Ginter Mini and one of the Red Target parallels that eluded me earlier. Other notable names were here -- some big, some not but they are some of their only cards so I included in the gallery. The one Cube included nothing but 2011 packs that do actually have autos and mem as possibilities -- these had an insert in every pack with some unusual odds-defying appearances so you never know. Meanwhile, the cube with a Raw Deal gaming deck was one that could have potential as the deck I landed had some oddly higher prices from some gaming dealers out there vs. others ... but I only realized that after I opened it. (Old WWE gaming is not really my thing so I had no idea.) The 2013 WWE packs here also were loosies with autographs starting at one in 79 along with Relics and printing plates also possible. The Chipz were not as loaded and the dog tags were not that strong but there are Relic tags one in 24 packs there. If you want to add some variety, each of these formats offer something different on the cheap. I think the Mystery Box is probably the best of the three here ... but I'd rip with reasonable expectations.

Repack Grades: Wrestling Mystery Box, A- (guaranteed hits) ... Five-pack cube: B ...  Deck & pack cube: B-
Lot Grade: B (good variety and you never know what might slip in but probably most ideal for beginner)
Fun Grade: B (condition is hit and miss -- boxes not packed tightly so packs may have taken beatings in wild)

What's next? Look for another one next hour.
