If you hadn’t noticed, there are a number of boxes with discounted prices this weekend and for the next week or so over on the mothership and they were dramatic enough that Buzz had to sit down and ponder the possibilities in many of them.
So much so here’s another of a few “picks” to come in the next few days.

The second series of 2016 Topps WWE trading cards — dubbed 2016 Topps WWE Then Now & Forever — arrives tomorrow with a new crop of cardboard and some first-time signers.
We know this because we now have the final checklist as released by Topps.
From time to time, Buzz will break a box of something and break down the results here. Like this and want to see more — or maybe there’s a box you’d want to see busted? Send Buzz an email at BlowoutBuzz@blowoutcards.com.

Topps is following up on its first high-end WWE set with a sequel less than a year later and we’re just two weeks away from the arrival of 2016 Topps WWE Undisputed, which is now set for a July 6 release.
That means the final checklist is here.
There won’t be as many autographs in every box this time around, but there will be plenty of autographs that should be in demand with a crop of new signers and young stars filling those high-end packs.
One advantage that World Wrestling Entertainment has with its merchandise is that autograph signings with the talent don’t typically involve a middle-man or an agent — it’s part of the deal and the wrestlers get compensated for their signings.
As in a cut of their merchandise sales.
