So this break has been a long time coming, considering I was expecting the break this way back in June. It was delayed twice and finally came out this past Wednesday. I've never dabbled in high end wrestling, but decided to give this a shot. I've done relatively well in my last couple of breaks of Wrestling, though they are far and few between. So there's a whopping 10 hits per box, and 8 of those are autos. So here's hoping for some solid names in the auto area. Here's what I got

Overall Thoughts: Ugh..GROSS. If you don't follow wrestling, I'll just flat out tell you this SUCKED. I absolutely HATE that Topps doubles off of hits of multiple lower level guys. Getting two hits of Dash Wilder and Tyler Breeze is AWFUL. Kofi isn't bad, but he isn't that great either. Becky Lynch is pretty popular but that's just a plain color shirt relic, the only saving grace is it being numbered to 25. The dual auto I got of the Fashion Police is of a lower level comedy tag team. Asuka is the best of the bunch. Very disappointed for the super long wait I had with this and the contents of this box.
Success/Failure: Do I think I got $100 out of this break..yeah probably, but if I had to guess it's JUST barely. I think value wise the top 3 cards would be the Asuka, Fashion Police Dual Auto, and Becky Lynch. Here are pics of the cards

Yeah, the Becky Lynch and Asuka are nice hits, but this was a rough box overall. The Maryse and Carmella are okay, and the dual autograph is at least low-numbered, but it's still a tough break, especially doubling up on the low-end guys. If you're going to stuff a product with low-end guys, at least make sure each guy only makes one appearance per box.
ReplyDeleteYep especially since this is the highest end wrestling product Topps makes...there should be no excuse for 60% of my hits to be doubles of the guys i hit
DeleteBummer bro. I don't know much about WWE, but I do know Asuka. Watched a few of her YouTube videos recently.
ReplyDeleteYeah Asuka's the only auto that's going to the PC
