Overall Look

The high dynamic range (HDR) photography is what gives thesecards their heightened reality look. Splash design with foil accents work really well. The backs of the cards work welltoo. Inserts are simple andstraightforward which is all that is needed.

Quality and Variety of Players and Subsets.

This is a tremendous checklist. Add to that the Showdown Shots, most under the watchful eyes of Dana White, that recaps previous matchesand the fantastic poster reprints and there is a lot to collect here.

Do the hits hold up?

The hits are great. There is a nice mix of autos, fighter worn memorabiliaand mat swatches.

Will you want to collect them all?

No doubts here. You will want the complete set.
