FINAL THOUGHTS

Base - 4.5/5
Design - 4/5
Fun - 5/5
Value - 3/5
Rebuy - 3.5/5

Overall - 20/25 (80%)

Pros:
All cards are numbered, including base (which should be standard in high end products)
One hit per pack
Addition of Signature Patches Booklets
Great cards for in person signatures

Cons:
Cost versus return is not in your favor for the most part
Should be about current drivers only with Legends (releasing later this year) only about former drivers
Not a good product for someone who wants to "try out" a box
