What’s Buzz-worthy: I’m getting near the end of my pack lots here -- just one more post like this to go -- and since I think the names are a little more niche with either their genres or eras for these and those remaining, I’m going to pop them up here as lots rather than one or two packs at a time. This lot is heavy on TV stars from the past -- mostly the 1970s and then a couple others you might know from some hit shows and some other film roles -- but none are really in my wheelhouse. ... For $5 a pack -- so this was a $20 lot -- with everything being a 1/1 card for that color or texture even a whiff here is still unique. I’d rather have a miss like this than a hanger pack that’s a whiff with super-plentiful inclusions ... in any sport. For more thoughts on these, hit my other breaks. There have been a number of them and my next batch will be my finale unless I track down more. (It’s possible.)

Product Grade: A+ (plates improve this one vs. past years)
