What’s Buzz-worthy: These boxes are essentially a repack of 60 past packs along with a pack of new cards made specifically for this release — and that volume of stuff makes this an affordable go-to where it’s appeared here a few times. There are some names of note in TV, movies and other aspects of pop culture that can be found here and ultimately Buzz busted these for the hits. Why? There’s plenty to rip and plenty of hits. This one included 17 hits (autos, memorabilia or Kiss Cards) and other boxes recently ripped have included between 12 and 15 hits per while these are only supposed to guarantee eight as part of the “new stuff.” As said in a past break of this one, BenchWarmer has been around since the early 1990s and the explosion of autographs since then has really helped collectors find ink from names from around the pop culture world. You’ll also find base cards of names from TV shows, movies and more here atop those who have stuck to merely modeling. These boxes include a number of early packs that don’t pack a lot of hits and showcase how times have changed fashion-wise, but the rest of the packs include enough variety that things can add up fast. It’s a fun rip as you never know what — or who — those past packs might include. This one included a memorabilia card of former WWE star Torrie Wilson and ink from model (and former Austin Powers FemBot among many credits) Cindy Margolis along with several others with TV and modeling credits. The number of big names in this box isn’t as big as other boxes, but some sales might surprise from these boxes, which is a good thing generally speaking given the box price.
