What's Buzz-worthy: A past stockpiling of these autograph-per-pack boxes is now depleted  -- this is the last of my stash -- but it ended strong with the name power among the ink, showing why these are fun breaks. (Especially when they are ballpark of blaster price as when I found them). Hit that link above for some newer boxes -- there are a number of them in stock from the recent past as well as further back. ... The lineup here 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, too. The hit per pack here is typically ink, though there are other possibilities, and parallels drop roughly one per box -- that happened here -- with the vertical ink is one in every three or so. The names here include a mix of models, reality TV stars and actresses, former WWE stars and even a champion boxer. The auto lineup is deep -- the same size as the base set for standard ink, too, so that can make them hit and miss. This pair of boxes hit pretty well. The autographs are the power here -- you can land a lot of names all in one swoop and big names are possible. You should know a few of the autos found here from elsewhere.

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