What's Buzz-worthy: This one follows a familiar feel to other recent Chrome soccer sets in its set size and volume of what you find in a box -- simplicity that you can try to collect in full. This box delivered two parallels that are statistically rarer than one per box and a type of card found only twice per case, a Premier League Debut card. To make that better, it's a rarer parallel that's found one in every 1,297 packs -- or one in every six cases or so. The standard version of that card has sold for more than $20 on eBay. Considering the box prices here, this card alone pretty much makes this box a winner. The base set uses a good mix of action and feature reaction photos, though there are a lot of repetitive images in many soccer releases -- that's about the only real drawback here and that's common in a lot of other sports at times, too. If you're a fan of soccer, this one is a no-brainer to rip.
