Over all The inserts I think were better then last years. All access I liked the inside picture that added to the cards. Gear galleries were alittle more flashier then last, and the Trophy Clubs I think weere the only down fall. Just didn't capture my attention.

Base set was to much like last years. Happy that the rookies were not short printed and included in the set. But they need to change it up.

Happy that I received a nice auto of one of my drivers. That's what savewd the break. Receiving the Gear Gallery R/U was a plus also, great to see alittle change in the product, bringing back other parts instead of the same ole suits, gloves, atc.

Over all I would give this release a 3.5 of 5 rating.
