What's Buzz-worthy: I thought these were long gone from retail but there's apparently a second wave ... and I saved none for the kids last week so you'll be seeing  a few of these here in the next week or two. This box? It was probably the biggest one of the bunch thanks to a Genesis parallel of De'Andre Hunter the third-highest scorer for the Hawks as a rookie this season and the fourth-overall pick in the draft last year. That card alone pays for this box and perhaps a couple more -- and maybe a lot more if graded. Had it been a Zion Williamson card? Well, those have pushed $5,000 as Genesis parallel cards are rarer finds but not numbered. These NBA megas have literally double what can be found in football megas at Walmart (also reloading) and they are a solid break across the board even if you get a weaker box. This one had an iffy bunch of base veterans (a couple names) and some solid RCs and Rookie Debut cards here. The rest of the inserts were very consistent with past breaks (I've done many ... click around here) and all could have been shots at pricey names but those were a little more elusive this time. The only bummer here? For some reason, Walmart upped the prices on them a tad knowing people would just be clearing shelves. (Guilty as charged this time.)

Product Grade: A-
Box Grade: A+ (Genesis parallel of a solid rookie)
Fun Grade: A-
