2011 Tri-Star OBAK

Went into the LCS yesterday and saw that he had received a shipment of 2011 Tri-Star OBAK. I have never busted any OBAK before, but this one had been on my radar since I first saw the preview. This product has a limited release compared to most others. I went ahead and picked up a couple of boxes. The cards are interesting and definitely will not appeal to everyone. They are nicely done. Out of the 2 boxes I pulled a complete base set minus the SPs. They advertise 11 hits per box and these can come in a multitude of variations. I received 4 autos in one box and five in the other. The other hits are numbered and they also count the SPs as hits. I had read that the autos were very hit or miss and I would have to agree. I don't know that I would buy anymore, but it was interesting busting the couple of boxes. Here are the highlights and some scans of the cards so you can see what they look like:
