Duplicates: plenty of extras -- see next categoryNotable stats about this break – Received between four and six copies of every card in the 110-card base set and completed each of the insert sets at least once, excluding parallels. (Did not receive any parallels rarer than the one-per-box Black versions.) Created just one of the 10-card nWo sets, but the case yielded three of the 2K16 sets, three Rookie of the Year, two Then & Now (one card short of a third) and four NXT Called Up insert sets.

TNA Wrestling opens up its archives to autograph collectors
It's been three years since the last TNA Wrestling card set from TRISTAR, so the autographs from some of the wrestling promotion's top stars may be starting to dry up a bit on cardboard.
The company has changed a lot in the last few years, too, which makes a new development on its website, ShopTNA.com, a surprise. How? A few generations of old promotional photos can be found autographed for bargain prices -- and many are signed by top names who have not been involved with TNA for some time.
