Notable 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.

What’s Buzz-worthy: This case was a part of last week’s April Showers promotion, which is now in its final run and was a fun bargain rip with a Relic in every box and a rich product that’s all about photography and info from the past and present of the WWE with the memorable — but not always perfect — 1985 Topps baseball design. … The simple results here are in part a reflection of the simplicity of this product — not that many parallels — and it being a retail mix. But the set is a quality one that’s overlooked because it’s not as heavy on hits. For a wrestling fan, this was a fun bargain break — and there’s plenty more potential on the Relics front that Buzz did not land. Despite that, at its price, it still gets an A.
