Some notable chases from the products include rare inserts, including Color Blasts, Prizmania, and Groovy. In the case of Obsidian International, an exclusive International Black Color Blast. Given that they can only be found in these boxes, they do not pop up to often. So, for those who collect certain players or teams, this could be one of few chances to try and obtain the card.
The Tri-Star Autographed Jersey box adds some intrigue to the break. Based on the box art, autographed jerseys from current and former stars of the NBA can be found in the box. While some collectors like to stick primarily to cards, who wouldn't want an autographed jersey of an NBA player to add to their collection? The majority of hobbyists would, and it should be interesting to see what jersey comes out of the box.
