What's Buzz-worthy: Here's another half-price bargain-bin find -- a box that guarantees a hit for less than $10 -- and it's half of its original price. The format here is essentially the same as the 2013 break we did here but in a smaller box. The hit here was of a former Cup champ and it's a memorabilia card that I wouldn't expect to have a three-color patch piece since it's not a parallel, so that's a win in my book. The inserts also included some established names -- the Danica card is a one in 100 packs short-print at retail, too -- while the base cards included some younger and successful drivers. Aesthetically, this one isn't that great but there's nothing totally lackluster. All in all, for the price, this was a pretty successful rip.
