From the 2006 box ... None in release

What's Buzz-worthy: I've opened more than a few Vault boxes over the years but a 2011 one, for whatever reason, hadn't popped into my hands until recently. When opened the lid I got what I consider one of the bummer boxes -- a 1994 second series box that has no autographs possible in the release, meaning there's really no reason for me to open it. (The first set is a dull one as well but at least there are long-shot autos possible if you land some of the earlier boxes from the run.) So, with that said, this time it was all about the hits pack here -- kind of a bummer but that's part of the chase here. Some releases will be multi-hit boxes and some will be like this. Fortunately the pack was quite good with one of the two Daizy Dukez mem cards found in a case here and it being a decent name -- and it also included her as an autograph. Atop that, pretty much all of the signers here have a number of credits out there in the modeling and film world ... one was even Daisy Duke in the second Dukes of Hazzard movie. (Did you miss that one? It's possible ... and it's very possible it might be better than the Jessica Simpson one. Maybe.) All in all, the bonus pack here was good but I may not break even if I were a seller. (That's arguably where the bonus box comes in.) Overall, though, this does get an A- grade for the box out of me since the bonus pack had good names ... just not as fun as other boxes that are out there with better bonus boxes inside.

Product Grade: A-
Box Grade: A-
Fun Grade: C (the old box this time was a dud but the hits pack was good.
