What's Buzz-worthy: Prizm is a powerhouse in most sports but I think NASCAR still has some room to grow and this particular release has some affordable boxes with potential beyond just hits and parallels. It's the home of Hailie Deegan Prizm RCs and those can deliver big as parallels. I've ripped a bunch of these -- poke around for more thoughts -- and this is the final of my recent finds. Hobby boxes -- hit that link up top -- include shots at more Deegan options and everyone else (including Bubba Wallace RCs) making it a reasonable break for the price. These blasters are not as wide in scope but they 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.

Product Grade: A-
Box Grade: A- (good volume on good names here gets it an A even without one standout "big" card)
Fun Grade: A
