What's Buzz-worthy: I almost missed the obvious here but it's something that shows the magic of these repacks that were made for a premium presence out in the retail wild. They are hobby packs -- but that's not the obvious. What I almost missed was the fact that these cards were Black Refractors only found in Hot Boxes -- and those boxes were found only one in every eight cases. (I initially thought this was a brand that was all-Refractor finish but then I looked back at my previous break.) Had I landed a Tom Brady? More than $100 (and higher) in a slab with recent raw eBay sales at $75 -- and he's not alone. Every card here was a parallel save for the two inserts though only the biggest names carry bigger value all the years later as a l0t of cases got ripped. Manning is a few bucks and the Beckham and Rivers cards aren't bad finds ... but it's really just a reminder of what's possible here. Bigger reasons to rip? Autographs, patch autos, printing plates and other rare parallels for Hall of Fame caliber guys as well as a few RCs that aren't as flashy as they once were but still have followings like Todd Gurley, Amari Cooper, Marcus Mariota, Jameis Winston and Tyler Lockett. ... This is a brand where the odds weren't tough to land hits -- 12-pack boxes include at least one rookie patch auto and one autographed jumbo Relic along with at least six rookie inserts. Since there was no retail run for this product, it's all possible here and these are cheap -- I landed mine from the recent Dash Deals wave (already passed) even cheaper than it is at the moment but even now it's not a bad low-risk rip. And, if you like it, there are also boxes still to be found, too.

Product Grade: A-
Pack Grade: A (Hot Boxes are one in eight cases ... and both packs here were from one of those here -- that's crazy)
Fun Grade: B+ (these were a big surprise ... but still not greatest names)
