What’s Buzz-worthy: There’s a little bit of mystery with these Optic blasters in that they are nearly identical to the Special Edition blasters but there’s a difference in one card. These have one additional base card but no hit — at least that was the case in this one. Why? This collector is definitely in the Special Edition camp … but it’s actually not a new thing. The same happened last year and it’s a case where the hits are guaranteed in one type of box but not others. Memorabilia cards are possible here as they are noted on the panel but clearly not in every box. This box was helped with an Alvin Kamara Rookie Card but ultimately felt flat across the board after that one.
