What's Buzz-worthy: With this box in the big sale, I finally bit as the announced volume of cardboard -- 10 cards -- was worth the risk at the price since some big names could pay for a chunk of the box with plenty left over. Plus this one, if I'm not mistaken, can have some "hidden treasure" hits below the tray so you never know if there might be more there than one would expect. I didn't have any hidden cardboard, but this one did over-deliver with more hits inside than there was supposed to be cards and then the basics and other inclusions atop that. (It's not that uncommon for this to happen in these releases that have stuff made for this release and then past/other stuff thrown in.) I landed five cards limited to 25 or fewer copies with the signed Kiss Card a fun one to see right on the top of the tray when I popped the lid. I'll admit I didn't know a thing about Ashley Doris but she's got an IMDb page with a decent number of credits. Most others have similar modeling or acting backgrounds with this box's biggest name perhaps being former WWE star Christy Hemme (though regular BW rippers will know many of these names). All in all for the price, the volume break here was pretty good and the rarer cards could make for surprising resale potential if that was what I was going for. Why rip these? Generally for me it's to add to the variety in the autograph stash but I think some of the card sets are also pretty creative within their themes and I like unique cards. They're also boxes that offer up a break from some of the standard stuff you see ripped here regularly without a big price.

Product Grade: A-
Box Grade: A
Fun Grade: A- (over-delivered on hits)
