First Pack Comments: I am almost glad to see this ... I thought I had cherrpicked a surefire GU pack. This one seemed to be about half as thick as the others, but it contained no GU ... only a 1:40 insert!

For an older, low-end product this wasn't a bad break at all. The thing I love about Premier Plus (other than putting in 900,000 Drury cards) is that almost every box seems to have an autograph or memorabilia card in it. Three boxes and three autos for me after this one.

As far as actual odds go, you are only supposed to have about a 41% chance of an auto or memorabilia card in a box. Even so, that's not bad considering the price on these. The inserts are rather ordinary, although they do look good with the glossy effects of the brand. The Calling All Calders insert set was innovative, but otherwise the inserts won't keep you floating. It also seems there is one base set per box, which is a nice bonus.

My box was OK. As I said above the Calling All Calders was my favorite insert set, but I was inexplicably shorted THREE of those according to the odds. Yeah, I did get an extra 1:16 parallel, but still. The Neely autograph was nice, the autograph designs for this series are very nice, although I was kinda hoping to pull a memorabilia card, just cause I'd never gotten a memorabilia card from Premier Plus (as said above, two autos, but never memorabilia).

These boxes are dirt cheap right now, and with autos/memorablia coming out at least in 41% of them they are worth the time. Good for people getting into the hobby or for that experienced collector with an itch. Maybe not the highest value cards, but a good fun break for sure.
