What's Buzz-worthy: This isn't quite the A+ box I got for my first taste of this one, but it delivered pretty well on the rookie front with a pair of Coby White appearances and a Ja Morant. I also got some all-time greats in the inserts and some decent names among the base cards ... so it gets an A- grade from me. As I said last time, the basic design here is super simple -- almost oldschool Pacific in its feel -- but with a Prizm approach. The basic set is 200 cards and then the 100 topping that are from a number of subsets that arrive relatively often together but I'll note them as SPs here. The Mosaic Prizms arrive four times (all colors) in this format while the Orange Fluorescent Mosaic Prizm cards are only found in blasters. It's simpler in feel and this release has been a pricey one so far as it was only partially done when COVID-19 things shut down production for Panini's printing and packing facilities. I found these fresh to the retail aisle last week but hobby boxes are just starting to arrive elsewhere now as they formally arrive tomorrow.

Product Grade: A-
Box Grade: A- (White and Morant are key here)
Fun Grade: A-
