What's Buzz-worthy: Buzz dealt with the trauma of Eclectic -- an affordable Buzz 12 in 12 go-t0 -- being gone from the Blowout warehouses forever with a small binge on these hit-per-pack boxes when I found them at the price of a blaster. You get an auto or other type of hit in every pack and there are variations and other hits to be found among those -- detailed on the bottom of the box. The rest is pretty simple, which might be a reason why they are around and still affordable. The base set is joined by just one insert (though also paralleled) and that's it. Card backs are simple one-liners touting the subject's notable roles -- different than many past releases. This trio of boxes delivered about right as standard Kiss Cards are one in three boxes (no idea on parallels) and the vertical autos are also one in three. Those must replace the numbered parallel autos in their boxes as I landed just one of those in these three -- meanwhile parallels are touted as one per box. The names here are about right for the timeframe with a mix of models, reality TV stars and actresses, former WWE names and even a champion boxer. The auto lineup is deep -- the same size as the base set for standard ink -- and there are other  inclusions such as prop memorabilia cards that can surprise. That, combined with the price, is why I'll rip into these -- to add some variety to the ol' autograph collection.

Product Grade: A 
Lot Grade: A
Fun Grade: B (very simple lineup on typical per-box basis)
