What's Buzz-worthy: Thursday was a busy one, so there was no break of these packs, but we're back with the hit from the first box ... ink from veteran actor Joan Van Ark probably best-remembered for Knot's Landing in the 1980s where she was in more than 300 episodes. Her career reaches back to the 1960s, though, with appearances on Mod Squad, Bonanza, Gunsmoke, Days Of Our Lives, Hawaii Five-O, The Odd Couple, MASH, Rhoda, The Six Million Dollar Man, Wonder Woman, The Love Boat and sooo much more from the more-modern era of TV after that such as My Name Is Earl, Nip/Tuck and voice work in a lot of series and even video games. In short, while she was probably not on my collecting radar I could have done worse, considering all of the names on the checklist ... and that's not a bad thing for somebody who likes some variety in the autograph collection. ... As I noted before, 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.
