What's Buzz-worthy: I'm not that big of a fan of hanger boxes that are pushing blaster price out in the retail wild but I figured I'd test-drive one of these since they are the home to orange cards and rookie variations just like Prizm did. This one didn't include any of the biggest names in key spots but two cards make this one a solid box -- the Silver Steph Curry and a Genesis parallel that must be rare because the prices of these cards is high and the side panels of these boxes boldly remind you that they are kind of a big deal. (The Reddish, Maravich and Drexler cards aren't bad, either.) I still think I'm sold on mega boxes as a go-to with their volume and blasters have out-delivered all formats for me in a limited volume of ripping but if this option is your only one out there in the wild if you discover some then it's not bad, either. They are small but they have enough unique inclusions to help them deliver well. This is one of those times -- but perhaps not in the flashiest Zion Williamson way.
