    Travis Benjamin Black Parallel /75



    Marvin McNutt Prism Refractor /25



    Brian Quick Jumbo Jersey



    Nick Toon Jumbo Jersey

    FINAL THOUGHTS

    Base - 4/5
    Design - 4/5
    Fun - 5/5
    Value - 4/5
    Rebuy - 2.5/5

    Overall - 19.5/25 (78%)

    Pros:
    Two hits per pack
    Bonus box loader
    Always enjoyable getting more than one hit in a pack
    Nice switch to design of relic cards

    Cons:
    Price point is brutal for most, if not all
    Same basic design of previous years
    Dropped from 3 hits to 2 hits per pack from previous years
    Sticker Autographs, something high end should never see

    Looks like you hit some good cards with this box but the "jumbo" cards aren't really that big. Looks to be barely 3 of the normal sized game used jerseys.
