What's Buzz-worthy: While blaster boxes have run hot for me, hobby boxes are the safe rip with two autos per overall master box (one per mini box) and then a decent helping of inserts and parallels. This one delivered a pair of Black parallels that aren't easy pulls -- the base parallel one in 160 packs (14 boxes), while the Riott auto is one in 131 packs (11 boxes). Riott is ink I wouldn't mind, so that helps with my grade here, too, but the lineup of inserts was strong (non-color parallels not as much) and then the base cards had some decent spots but actually didn't include the top rookies in my mind this time. All in all, I think this set just needs one more kind of insert or parallel in the mix to make it a solid A or A+ release (it's still good) and some of the photo choices or crops here seem odd ... but otherwise a solid rookie release for Finest. Poke around for my blaster breaks -- I really defied the odds there -- and to see more from this one. Hit that link for hobby rips that are safe with big up-side. Once those vanish or get pricier, shred retail for potential ... though keep in mind autos aren't easy in retail like they are here.

Product Grade: A-
Box Grade: A+ (two rare Black parallels get it there)
Fun Grade: B (even hobby boxes feel like they need more)
