What's Buzz-worthy: If you're a fan of a Ryan, an Elliott or Danica then you did pretty well here with 11 cards for those three categories -- and that's an example of how this one can sometimes be oddly streaky. That can add to a fun box despite it being small if you get the right names stacking up. I found a few of these in the bargain bin and bit on them all as it's a cleanly done Prizm release with some big up-side thanks to debut cards for a few names but with Hailie Deegan the biggest of them all. She didn't make an appearance this time but others did. I haven't yet landed the new Chronicles -- I will soon -- but this one is fun in a different way and should get consideration thanks to the kids here. Click here to see the lofty asking prices on eBay (for NASCAR, not Prizm as a whole) and then hit completed -- she sells. Hobby boxes -- hit that link up top -- include shots at more for her and everyone else (including Bubba Wallace on RCs) making it a reasonable break for the price. The colors you see here in this blaster can all be found for her cards -- and likely more (I already chucked my box) -- and that makes this one worth the rip at any price. Once the 19-year-old arrives at the highest level, she could be a marketing force and that will only increase her draw with young or new collectors and corporate America. There's also a lot to find here -- check out a few past breaks for more thoughts on this one.

Product Grade: A-
Box Grade: B+ (tons of inserts and variety get these an easy grade even without hits)
Fun Grade: A- (see above)
