What's Buzz-worthy: When these recently popped back into the Blowout store (link above) I was surprised as they seem to have dried up in recent years despite rough odds here and for hobby boxes. Meanwhile, good stuff is in here -- just long odds. Why rip? Every one of these value packs should include one NXT insert -- and you should go look at the prices for graded copies of Sasha Banks, Charlotte, Bayley and Paige. These are their first in-pack cards. Then there should typically be one standard Refractor here and mine in this pack is one that can grade for all of it even at today's market price. Inside retail packs are Superfractors (one in 2,800 packs), printing plates, autographs (with parallels), dual autos, Kiss Cards and Kiss Card autos, Relics (both clothing and ring mats) and manufactured Relics. When I last looked, there was a single hobby box out there on eBay for $1,000 and I remembered seeing a blaster at $150 -- tough prices since you don't have super-good odds on color in any format. The NXT cards are three per blaster and with only 20 cards in the set you have good odds at the big four in here. Hobby will have more of everything but I wan't to say that ink wasn't guaranteed even there ... but it might be. (It's been a long time since I have ripped a lot of this ... I figured this might be my last shot.) The Atomics are only for the base set -- the NXT inserts have no parallels at all save for printing plates -- but they can add value for you ripping here. Among the autos possible? Roman Reigns, Dolph Ziggler, Kane and Natalya for starters. Among the Relics? Undertaker's hat, Bray Wyatt (a mem parallel of his RC for the character), John Cena, Rey Mysterio and more. There are also Kiss Cards for A.J. Lee, Eva Marie and others with some signing them, too. A good name as a color Refractor also could be a jackpot here ... but ripping with reasonable expectations should be the norm here. If you beat the odds, you'll know it.
Product Grade: A
Pack Grade: A (the RockFractor is the winner here)
Fun Grade: B
