These seemed like a lot of fun so I picked up five. I was a little late in breaking them, but I've included pictures below with my thoughts. Had I known that Wrestling was included, and that half the value in each boxes would be 12 Stranger Things packs and assorted Topps Now Star Wars cards I probably would have only bought one, but oh well!
I'm assuming the Star Wars cards are extra's lying around that are worth a few dollars at best, but let me know if I'm missing something. I'll make another post when I get around to opening all the packs.
Box 12/200:
I echo the thoughts of others that wrestling should not be in these, but according to eBay it looks like this auto goes for around the cost of the box, so I can't complain too much!

Box 67/200:
Happy to add the Star Trek autograph to my collection as I don't have this one yet. Seems a little light from a value standpoint, with a $50 Trek auto, $2 wrestling pack, and what I'm assuming is a Star Wars card worth a few dollars at best. Maybe I'm missing something, or maybe Houdini overestimated the Trek card.

Box 002/200:
I already have both of these autographs, but value wise this one seems close to break-even.

Box 50/200:
I've been meaning to pick up a Jason Isaacs Stellar autograph so this was a great one for me.

Box 197/200:
Already have the Star Wars and Trek Autos, but this one seems close to break-even from a value standpoint as well.
