The boxes: 2022 AEW Allure wrestling cards
Where to buy: BlowoutCards.com (when available) 

Keep reading to see a full breakdown and gallery from this one.

Cards per pack: 6
Cards in this lot: 60

Base cards – Ricky Starks, Danhausen, Anna Jay, MJF, Sammy Guevara, Matt Hardy, Daniel Garcia, Max Caster, Eddie Kingston, Kenny Omega, Claudio Castagnoli, Samoa Joe, Rey Fenix, Jamie Hayter, Skye Blue

Rookie Cards – None are noted on-card via a RC logo, but anyone in base set without previous-year AEW, WWE, WCW, Impact, Panini Lucha Libre AAA or BBM (Japan) or Leaf in-pack cards is likely a RC here based on traditional definitions. (So there are some this time but perhaps not as many as last time.)

What's Buzz-worthy: With an international AEW event set for Saturday -- they're in Australia -- I figured I'd trot out a break of what is perhaps my favorite AEW release -- though it's still one with a love-hate reality. I like the color, flash, variety and mix of what you land here -- half inserts, half base -- and I like the lineup of names with a good mix of established veterans and newcomers on Rookie Cards. But the hits? They don't even happen in every hobby box, let alone here ... and in some cases the rarer pull might be something that could easily be confused with other parallels and is only statistically rare based on being a parallel from a subset. Value? I'm not that worried here -- I just like this one and I'm a ripper/collector -- but thanks to ePack you can find pretty much everything on the cheap on COMC ... unless it's rarer or an auto.  I found these at a solid slasher price (half off) and grabbed a small lot for BuzzMania8 on April 18 but ultimately the finds were underwhelming despite my volume opened. You'll see more of this one between now and then and I'm not yet sure if any of these blasters will make that supercard lineup of breaks. We'll see.

Product Grade: A- (printing and cutting here is very clean vs. some chromium stuff in recent years)
Lot Grade: B (nothing rarer but plenty of names ... just nothing to get to an A beyond volume)
Fun Grade: A- (I like the variety here a lot)
