What's Buzz-worthy: Want to know what might be one of the most-overlooked Prizm releases out there? This one. Why? The debut for one best-seller on cardboard who is early on in her career yet sells cards beyond her place in NASCAR's ranks. Buzz found this box for half price and managed to land that star, Hailie Deegan, making this box a win for its price. Had it been a parallel of some type? Watch out -- click here to see the lofty asking prices on eBay (for NASCAR, not Prizm as a whole) and then hit completeds. Hobby boxes -- hit that link up top -- include shots at more for her and everyone else (including Bubba Wallace on RCs) making it a reasonable break for the price. The colors you see here in this blaster can all be found for her cards -- and likely more (I already chucked my box) -- and that makes this one worth the rip at any price. Once the 19-year-old arrives at the highest level, she could be a marketing force and that will only increase her draw with young or new collectors and corporate America. She'll be everywhere and she was first found here back when she was still in high school. Her other appearances in 2018 NASCAR releases (she's in all with ink in most) should be watched, too. If you don't collect or want to stockpile her cards, there's also a lot to find here -- check out a few past breaks for more thoughts on this one.
