What's Buzz-worthy: I recently picked up one of these and opted for another here as the volume of hits is dramatically higher than a lot of other options in the Benchwarmer section. The stated inclusions here were for 20 hits -- 17 autos, three mem -- but both boxes I've opened have had different results and ultimately more than they originally had planned. This one included 22 with 20 of those being autos. Just like last time, this was fine with me but I don't know if I landed any top-level names from a checklist that's very deep. 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 a good break even if you don't land anybody that sells better than the norm. This box included a few names that should be familiar for these sets, some with notable modeling credits and a couple of former WWE stars. The Christy Hemme mem card is a decent find as it's a short-print. I didn't check the eBay sales here for all names, but with an average cost of under $4 a hit, I'm not that worried. Most BW boxes are hits-driven and have good volume but this one has a lot more than others.
Product Grade: A-
Box Grade: B+ (a couple of rarer autos and a rare mem card, though no top-tier names on ink)
Fun Grade: A- (over-delivered on hits)
