What's Buzz-worthy: I'm not sure if these just packed out differently than what was originally announced, but this box was an oddity based on what it was supposed to include. The stated inclusions are 17 autos, three mem, six inserts, a base card for this set and a box-topper. My box? A total of 21 autographs -- 16 definitely from this series, three maybe from this series (it's not clear to me) and then two that appear to be from elsewhere. My three mem cards were two mem cards. The inserts were as promised and my base card was a rarer parallel. Generally speaking this was fine with me but I don't know if I landed any top-level names from a checklist that's very, very deep checklist. The base set here? It's 125 cards -- and again just one per box unless you get a parallel -- while the autograph list tops 120. The volume here makes these good in my mind and while my ink didn't have any of the bigger names in my mind, one of the mem cards I landed was an SP and has sold for $25 on eBay. That's not bad based on the box price. Most of the autos are familiar names you'll find in other releases but this one is loaded with hits -- a formula that applies to many of the other BenchWarmer releases -- that make it one to consider. Ultimately, I rip them to add to the autograph collection on the cheap -- sometimes you land a big auto that pays for  good chunk of the box and sometimes you get good volume. This seems like a volume box this time.

Product Grade: A-
Box Grade: B+ (confusing box as mentioned above without any top-tier signers)
Fun Grade: A- (over-delivered on hits)
