Additionally, each 8-box case contains either 1 Autograph Relic card or a Relic Card #/30 or less.
My Thoughts:
If you are a wrestling fan, this is a good purchase. For one thing, it costs $45 per box and you are guaranteed 1 Autograph and 1 Relic per box along with 24 inserts and 24 parallels. Secondly, there are some wonderful action shots of the wrestlers, a nice clean design and a large variety of inserts that you will receive per box. I am considering picking up a box or two to bust with my son, this looks like a set I would be interested in collecting and the chance to pull a John Cena and Rey Mysterio autograph or relic would be extremly cool.

Gotta say the base design and inserts look nice and you're right about the price. I'm not a huge wrestling fan and I've never bought wrestling trading cards, but I may be tempted here. Thanks for the preview!
ReplyDeleteMy cousin is a hardcore wrestling fan as well, he watches it non stop. He just bought about 10 or 15 packs of 7 cards, and he got an rey mystero event worn relic card and an autograph by Serena, Plus tons of other cool cards.
