What’s Buzz-worthy: As said in a past break here, this brand is a new one to the NASCAR lineup and it’s basically a deluxe version of Prizm. … This design is definitely a familiar one in its feel, so as long as you’re comfortable with it and its colorful Pulsar parallels you’ll probably be comfortable ripping into this one. This particular box included one of the tiered short-prints, one insert and then the typically found parallels and the hit. For the price, it seemed like it delivered enough — it just wasn’t that flashy — and this box, compared to a past blaster here, shows that these don’t always deliver with the same consistency. That could mean some stronger boxes out there than others.
