Before we get to these packs, I have 4 of the 120 card base set, and since I'd expect typically 2 new base cards in each pack, hopefully I get over half way on this base set, but time will tell.

A solid (every 6 pack) insert, and of The Kid too doesn't hurt.
I really like the feel, design, and how the cards look in hand. Definitely one of my favourite sets out there in the last year or two, but I usually feel that way when it comes to the Tim Hortons sets.
1 pack, 3 cards, 13 points.
I like the look of that Superstar Showcase insert. It reminds me of the Flair Showcase cards of the 90's.
ReplyDeleteYes, it does have a similar look.
