2016 Panini Diamond Kings blaster recap

This came out a couple of months ago and I saw a couple of breaks / reviews from at least couple of other bloggers [Capewood's Collections and Night Owl Cards] - though my BS detector says these are just like any cards [and not MLB licensed at that], the textured canvas make the cards seem a little bit more fancy.
  
Hobby boxes maybe too rich for my blood at the moment and while I thought about picking up a couple of blasters online - retail DK doesn’t come with one hit [maybe an auto or relic card] per blaster guarantee, so I was kind of iffy, even if any particular hit wouldn't be all that great.

I went into Target looking for 2016 Topps Archives but none were on the shelves yet - but these were out so I grabbed a blaster to see if I could scratch the itch.
