Seems like an average box, too bad you struck out on most of your parallels. I guess you can get a Downtown in Hoops this year? I think the insert designs look pretty good.

Yeah it was an average box overall. My parallels I thought were actually ok, most were at least of known players, but the redemption was quite lame - I ended up trading it for reward points instead of redeeming the auto, and now I'll have to wait several weeks before I get a few autos of role players - which isn't terribly exciting and costs shipping, but better than an auto of some guy I haven't heard of who's played like 2 pro games.

Do you think you got about 1/2 of the set? I haven't decided if I want to put it together this year yet. If the rookie class is weak maybe i can grab some boxes down the line when they get cheaper.

Yeah I got a fair amount - actually just made a deal recently with someone who is putting the set together, so I sent a bunch his way. With the weak class, this seems like a good one to do. I haven't done a set in about a decade; I miss doing them.
