What’s Buzz-worthy: As said in a previous break here, Topps offered up this retail-exclusive as a holiday gift to the hobby with a new set (numbering-wise) with a new touch (snowflakes!) and an autograph or Relic in every single box. Autographs are found in roughly every 31st box so there will be Relics in most boxes, though there are auto parallels and autographed Relics, too. … You should find five parallels in every box, which means a one in 40 box shot at any particular name from the 200-card set. That should help the value for some of these un-numbered parallels. … The basic set is full of notable rookies and name players — it’s a simple creation with some oomph here and there and some chase (see the checklist for the ink and Relics).
