What's Buzz-worthy: My final one of these from a small find of them at their original price -- see past breaks by poking around here -- is pretty much an average box with a plate card as the "hit" though it's really just a glorified insert. The RCs and young stars here are strong with names in WWE's past or AEW today and the rest of the base set is colorful and a mix of past and present with the designs color-coded for Raw, Smackdown or WWE Legends. The inserts are simple but you get a mess of them -- NXT prospects, a thick amount of Crowd Chants cards (with several sets that all look the same but are under the same name) and then a small amount of parallels (also inserts) and a Hogan set. My first two of these were very, very strong and my first hit from the first one probably paid for all of the boxes so I can live with his more-average one ... and I'd still do more at regular price, though manufactured Relics (one in 96 packs) are rarer they're not what I'd want to find. ... Why did I rip these? I saw a batch of these retail boxes surface at their absolute original price in a time where the smaller hobby boxes are non-existent or severely premium-priced and their retail display counterparts are also even potentially pricey finds. Why? Well, the boxes may not exist at all any more in unopened form -- and prices can be unrealistic vs. the typical (reasonable) inclusions. ... What kind of stuff didn't I find among my few boxes? Printing plates, autos and more ... some with six-figure odds but they could be in there.

Product Grade: A
Box Grade: B- (would have stung at a premium price ... not far off from average really)
Fun Grade: B
