What's Buzz-worthy: I managed to find a reload of Mosaic out in the wild -- a shocking development -- but it was merely hanger boxes and jumbo packs. I decided to bite on a handful of hangers since they have rookie variation cards only found there as well as some exclusive Reactive Orange Prizm parallels. This box delivered both in big ways with a variation for Nunn -- a guy I've oddly landed often here in various forms so maybe that's a sign of some sort -- and my first LeBron James card of any kind in many boxes of Mosaic this year. (I never landed a single base card of him, enough to make me wonder if it's an SP or something.) Mosaic prices are all over the place, but the James has gone on eBay for as much as $150, while the Nunn has commanded some strong prices, too. Neither are that high right now but last I (quickly) looked both appeared to be decent enough to pay for my box and more in tandem.

Product Grade: A-
Box Grade: A+ (a rookie variation and a LeBron parallel = win)
Fun Grade: A-
