The biggest weekend in pro wrestling is here with WrestleMania 40 set for this Saturday and Sunday from Philadelphia. We'll make today a big one for wrestling collectors right here on The Buzz with #BuzzMania7, a marathon of WWE wax box/pack breaks all day long.

This one is a favorite of mine for sure -- especially on the retail front where everything is a parallel, insert, rarer tier or hit in these boxes -- so it just had to make today's list. And ... it's another instance where some discount-priced blaster boxes delivered pretty well. (That's actually been kind of a theme today ... that or breaking on the bargain side of things.)

This one was a pick-up at a slasher price back on Black Friday -- a jaw-dropper price where I absolutely had to dabble -- and yet my first impression of ripping this one back then wasn't a good one ... so I let it sit. Now, a few months later? We'll see how the results look ...

The biggest weekend in pro wrestling is here with WrestleMania 39 set for this Saturday and Sunday from Los Angeles. We'll make today a big one for wrestling collectors right here on The Buzz with #BuzzMania6, a marathon of WWE wax box/pack breaks all day long.

This eighth break of the day is an affordable one that has some monster potential yet at the same time it's a small box where things can also run lean. Will this be the finest flashback or should it have been on the pre-show?

This third break of the day is one that many collectors may not have seen as it's a release that was made for the European audience -- one that's got some moments but also is as simple as it gets.

What happens when a guy isn't an All-Star but becomes an All-Star but isn't an All-Star even when he's an All-Star but then is allowed to be All-Star after all?

He scores two goals and wins the All-Star Game MVP, and that's precisely what happened with John Scott on Sunday night.

The tale of a journeyman's route to the NHL All-Star Game is one that had a lot of ups and downs and seemingly a lot of politics. (It's a story that SBNation initially was all over here.) The basics? A fan vote led to a guy who's played for six teams in eight seasons with 11 career points making the team. Then, when he was traded and demoted, he was thought to be no longer eligible for the game. Then the NHL said he could play.

And that's what he did, clearly capturing the fans in Nashville as he received the loudest ovation pre-game and had a few chants for him during the action besides his goal-scoring moments. (Oh, and his helmet from the event is headed to the Hall of Fame.)

When is a guy not an All-Star but an All-Star -- yet not an All-Star even when he's an All-Star?

When his name is John Scott.

The tale of a journeyman's route to the NHL All-Star Game -- but not -- is one that has a lot of details and seemingly a lot of politics. (It's a story that SBNation is all over here.) The basics? A fan vote led to a guy who's played for six teams in eight seasons with 11 career points making the team. Then, when he was traded and demoted, he's no longer eligible for the game.

And all this, naturally, had Buzz wanting a hockey card ... and it turns out they're selling pretty well for a 33-year-old journeyman All-Star.
