To all of you out there that are looking for particular inserts for this set, Blaster and Hobby boxes may actually have more of certain insert cards than others. As I am sitting here sleeving up all of these new cards, I am noticing that I got more of some inserts from retail or hobby packs than I did from this Jumbo. I am sure that this is because the purpose of the Jumbo is to have 3 GU cards, not necessarily more inserts. I don’t have exact numbers, but if it is possible, I may actually tally up some numbers to show you what the REAL odds are of receiving a particular card. It might be too late because a lot of the cards I bought have sold, which will keep me from getting an accurate number. Never too late to start with this box. I just got done sleeving and organizing these cards and, to my surprise, I got every base card in Series 1 in this box. That does NOT means it will happen to you, but I wanted you to know that it did happen. I tried the tally thing that I mentioned above and, basically, there was 1 of each insert per pack unless I got a thick GU card in that pack. You will still get inserts about 1 per pack out of other boxes, you will just pay less for them and get less base cards. Video Rating: 4 / 5
