It is also not-so-intimidating because even though the release was late, it lacked some of the main rookies that other sets had. No pack-pullable Stützle, Kaprizov, Sorokin or the ilk. They're available in redemption form on e-pack, but not in the base set.
But this was probably the big pull for me in the box - loud, obnoxious and numbered to only 10.
Black Rainbow parallels are the most common parallels in the set, appearing 1:2 packs.
There are no Black Rainbow parallels for the SPd rookie portion in the base set. Instead, the 101-150 portion has Double Rainbow parallels, and there are no such parallels for the first 100 in the set.Instead of separate sets, the design changes for the Red Rainbow portion. Here, the 1-100 gets the flashing pattern for the background, while the SPd just end up with a standard, shiny red background. In fact, the design background also changed for the other parallels I landed as well. Here's an orange slice parallel.
The inserts are pretty generic, with Diagnostics being an excuse for more veteran content, and Grand Entrance adding some more rookie content. But, seeing as I like 1993 Leaf, I do like the City Celly, if for nothing else but the cityscape background.
There you have it!
These are really neat, the Lindstrom and Harley in particular. The double rainbow is cool, too. I just wish ePack didnt devalue them so much. saves me a lot of money but costs the thrill of pulling some colorful low-numbered shiny stuff.
