This box always seems to be on clearance at blowout cards, so I did some research on the product and I took a chance on a box.

Each box has two jersey cards, two letterman legends manupatches, and one autograph.
The base cards are pretty good with nice pictures and also a faded close up in the background., and the colored ribbon pattern on the borders gives the cards a refined and valuable look. I enjoy the large quantity of relatively low-numbered inserts and their beautiful reflective surfaces. The NFL Reflections don't really make sense, but they're so shiny!

Depending on your opinion on manupatches, you get 3 or 5 hits per box. The jersey swatches are pretty small on the single patches, but the dual patches look nice. The auto checklist is probably the biggest issue with this product because many autos are high-numbered rookie autos. However, boxes give chances for autographed legends letterman patches which are one of a kind cards for collectors. Since I know there are many baseball fans, this product also comes in a similar baseball version.

This product makes the cut for the best box breaks if you enjoy manupatches because of the low-numbered, beautiful inserts, nice base set, and potential for huge legend autograph hits.
