The Product
Phoenix is a brand that has been released for a number of years now, and one of it's biggest chase elements is an SP insert called Color Blast. The card feature a player on the front of the card, with team colors bursting behind them almost as if they are heading towards the collector looking at the card. They have become quite collectable and desireable on the open market, especially when big name players and rookies are on the card. Collectors can also look for a number of parallels and a base set to put together for those who like to set build.
