Our Thoughts:
For what the going rate on ebay is, ($35) I would say that the value isn't there unless you pull a kiss or bikini swatch card. I got lucky with the jumbo card being signed and numbered out of 75. The base cards are bland and set on generic backgrounds. The Autographed cards are OK, but trying to get anything over $5 for them is real tough. Getting the insert sets complete by pulling from the packs, requires 3 boxes.
The problem that Benchwarmer had during this time is the packaging of these cards. It says that 8 Cards come in a pack. Well, that is what is supposed to be in a pack. Some had 8, some had 7, some had 9. One had an Autograph, but only 5 other cards. There was also a problem with some of the cards on the back. On the back about midcard on the right edge, some of the cards have a crease about 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch long. It doesn't appear on the front. But the crease is there. It is visible under light and you can feel it without difficulty.
The back of the cards that have the personal information and the paragraph about the woman's accomplishments is great. Then after all those cards, the duplicates only have another picture of the woman. The insert backs are just another picture as well. Overall, this is the format that Benchwarmer has kept throughout their products. I wish that they would start changing and bringing in more models for each of their releases.
Box Value: 1.5 out of 5 stars.
