What's Buzz-worthy: Psst ... it looks like a post-Christmas retail reload could be happening in some areas of the country in case you're still looking for more Prizm boxes to stockpile or shred. They won't last long but they are out there ... if not, hit that link above for a few options from hobby and other formats. This box wasn't kind to me, despite my excitement over a new vein of Prizm gold, as it delivered five the six exact rookies I pulled last time while also continuing my 0-for-everything Prizm Zion Williamson performance. ... As said last time, these Walmart boxes ($37.98) give you a Pink parallel pack and some safety in your pack volume to do some chasing of key Rookie Cards and others in this A+ release. At least this one's Pink pack included some rookies this time ... I didn't find a single one last time. ... Do the math and you should have roughly a one in 30-box shot at Williamson or any other particular rookie in this format in Pink -- so that's interesting and it could mean big wins if the rookie can run in groups. ... While my luck has been bad, I still say that if you spot these in the wild, dig in. While it might be tempting to simply collect and hold boxes with this one, it's also a brand that's worth ripping into. They won't be all slam dunks but the potential is definitely there and the mega boxes do give you volume to take that shot statistically perhaps a little easier.

Product Grade: A+
Box Grade: B- (close to average but with a few names to save it)
Fun Grade: C+ (I got five of these exact same rookies in my previous box ... that stung)
