What's Buzz-worthy: This is more of an update for a previous series but since these are well-crafted and there's still plenty of creative art-based new stuff here I bit off a trio of sets -- and here's today's opener for this one as a Buzz Break. ... What are these? They're a pair of artist-created indy wrestling card sets that spotlight just six notable stars today with looks back at their earlier personas for three veterans and then a throwback design for the three newbies (one there is technically a veteran but slightly newish as a solo act). The main set is six cards and then every other set includes either three Rewind or three Wrestling Stars cards. Only 90 sets were made and that makes the two companion sets 45 apiece. Atop that there's a good amount of parallel action here with printed serial-numbers that help ensure the artist's market when it comes to copycat cards. (These are well-crafted so that would be tougher to do vs. some indy sets out there.) ... The bonuses depend on when and how many sets you grabbed, but with three I was assured I'd land both companion sets and then the parallels would also drop with precision (no dupes) across the board. Like the last set, these illustrations showcased a Japanese menko design and then the Stars cards are a nod to 1951 Topps baseball game cards -- all are are crisply done and the printing and cutting is immaculate, too. The newer names here are the draw for me as a collector -- I don't need the Cena, Punk and Uso cards that I do already own -- but these are nice with the Rewind cards Just like last time. The parallels for me to bite for sure for key names I like. All in all, I still like the feel of these and I'll be a regular buyer while they're done. Why? They're affordable and crisply done ($20 per set) and the continuity of them helps make it all a little more collectable. They're a win and something fun to add to the stash without breaking the bank.

Product Grade: A- for base set ... B+ for Rewind Series (both are small)
Lot Grade: A (Stratton variant makes this one a win for me)
Fun Grade: B+ (smaller set than past versions but still a good amount of variety)
