Not too shabby. Nothing fancy with the autos and I didn't get anything extra, but it was a fun box break. You can tell that there was a lot of effort by the artists put into these cards. I like the fact that they used a variety of artists so all the cards don't look the same.

As I've been looking through the cards, I noticed the ones by Jason Davies stick out to me. Some examples are the Verlander, Francisco and the Young. The cards look like they glow and are very appealing.
