What’s Buzz-worthy: After a first box of this one that delivered very well, this one was back to reality with a thud as a very average box. The Nick Chubb card is a fun find after last week but the highlights here weren't that big. The Illusions pack was hitless and those have a 50-50 shot at having something. I still like the heavier mix of inserts here vs. blasters ($5 less) but the $15 jersey hangers still might be the best buy for a good volume of inserts along with a hit. If you're looking for RCs more than other stuff, blasters are best. If you just want all of it? Rip some hobby at the link above. My first one of these was a win but this one was not.

Product Grade: B+
Box Grade: C (average box at best)
Fun Grade: B
