They seem to be trying to add to the value (or sell price) by adding left-overs from Five-Star and adding a few new goodies. After paying $256 for my 2009 box (8 months after the release) and seeing them sell for about $100 less per box for the '10 AND '11 boxes of the exact same thing ON the release date... I am glad I couldn't afford to buy them/didn't waste money on them. I am just tired of this release. I am not spending $150+ for a box of 15 cards. PP is a GREAT company, but with all the new brands they are releasing they should do 1 of 2 things with this one. They should add a pack or two per box OR drop the box price below $120. Fanfare was the best new PP release in many years and I got 8 five-card packs for almost $120 and there was an AU or RU in every pack also. I thought Fanfare was much more pleasing than Showcase, both in terms of product design/packout and I got a better value for the money I spent. PP is the best card company, but Showcase has wore out its welcome with me. I do wish PP would stop trying to re-invent sets they had already made spectacular. VIP is GONE and apparently Eclipse is GONE. Those were my 2 fav. sets and they dumped both, BUT they still make cards from the 'Wheels' brand. That is what they should dump--all of the Wheels sets! Premium is still around, but it isn't really a premium set anymore. I still like Premium but it just doesn't live up to it's name anymore. Anyway, I'm going to stop ranting now. Sorry for typing so much. ;) Boxes of this set get much cheaper EVERY year!
