What's Buzz-worthy: This one was a relatively strong box with LeBron James and Ja Morant appearances but without a slam dunk kind of card among the inserts and parallels. It could still be one that could pay off with those guys in the grading game, though, and that's a good part of the power with the Optichromed NBA releases of late, too. As I noted last time, I like these because you get a big stack of meaty packs -- they're twice the size as blasters both ways (plus some) -- and that gives you more shots at those key big-dollar rookies as well as parallels and inserts for them, too. This format is perhaps the best of them out there because of the volume -- a safer play since the overall set is 300 cards. For more thoughts here, check out my other breaks of this one. 

Product Grade: A-
Box Grade: A (LeBron, Morants and more get it there)
Fun Grade: A- (larger pack size and volume makes this a strong format)
