What's Buzz-worthy: I think this is the finale for my recent find of these boxes, which are under-appreciated perhaps because they don't guarantee some type of hit every time. (Hits are possible, just not every box.) They don't get the attention that Prizm does in other sports, either, but if there's one to give a look to for NASCAR it's this one. Why? I'm a broken record here, but these are the home of the first cards for Hailie Deegan. She didn't make an appearance in this box but if you land these on the cheap you can do OK if she shows up. Click here to see the lofty asking prices on eBay (for NASCAR, not Prizm as a whole) and then hit completed -- she sells. And there's a big amount of future potential here both on the track and in pop culture. Hobby boxes -- hit that link up top -- include shots at more for her and everyone else (including Bubba Wallace RCs) making it a reasonable break for the price. These blasters are pretty consistent in how they deliver -- a lot of inserts and parallels -- and that's what makes it work for me as a very casual NASCAR buyer. (I would have done more with a hit assured -- most NASCAR blasters have since Panini took over.) The link up top includes both blasters and hobby -- a mix of both could deliver pretty well for you.  If you want to try for Deegan volume, I'd do the blaster lot but if you want the best shot at autos of others then hit hobby (though she has parallels there to chase).

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