(* -- names aren't yet formally revealed for the various parallel colors/textures here, so it's all slightly mysterious at the moment ... I went with familiar names for textures used with other releases)
Autographs: None this time ... but they are found one per five-pack box of this one so stay tuned.
What's Buzz-worthy: This decade of packs found in this release was one I found the most between my two boxes ... and one yielded my lone True 1/1 card among a release that's nothing but 1/1s thanks to parallels and textures. So, what's a True 1/1? I'm not totally sure how these work just yet, but I'd suspect that there aren't parallels of these -- but a name like Norris could show up across a few decades with different looks. We'll see. Based on the card numbering, I wouldn't be surprised if these cards have alternate art versions for the subjects, just no parallels. (It might be complicated ... here's the thick guide to the preview set's inclusions. That is more complicated than I thought.) Norris is a good name for pop culture in a few directions -- though he oddly does have a lot of cards in recent years -- but I don't have any so I'm fine with this fine. It's unique to me. (Note there is an errant line on the back noting an autograph but no white box on the front for ink ... so just be aware there is for potential scammers' actions.) ... As I noted last time, I had a superb heater of a streak opening boxes of the preview edition for this set -- a number of 1/1 finds in several packs (check the archives) -- so when this all-1/1 edition was recently announced I pounced on a couple of boxes. Why? I liked it the first time ... and this time nothing but 1/1 card in a box with a 1/1 auto, too, was a no-brainer. Since everything is unique, I figured I'd turn my boxes into separate breaks -- that means more of these to come after this -- perhaps daily for my first run but we'll see how soon I rip through every pack.
