What's Buzz-worthy: My recent wave of BenchWarmer dabbling in the big same may come to an end with this one -- since it's a strong box to perhaps finish on with a good amount of variety, a serious over-delivering of ink and a few low-numbered cards and a solid auto-mem card in there, too. I'm not sure I got any truly big names here -- perhaps three (though some top names you might expect from around this time are not in this one) -- but the variety of what was here and the strong volume was satisfying for the price. Why rip into this one? The variety -- and I didn't even come close to landing a representative sample of what was in this one -- and it's a marked difference than a Holiday box I opened from just two years before. One of the inclusions, for example, are quad on-card autos and joining them are also inscriptions. Those types eluded me but all in all this was still a good break and the volume gets it an A+ box.

Product Grade: A- (good variety
Box Grade: A+ (over-delivered on hits)
Fun Grade: A- (see above)
