What's Buzz-worthy: I pondered the A+ grades I gave this one a bit but then I considered that a solid box like this one won't be out of the norm often with an overall base set that includes just 100 cards based on the rookies, veterans and prospect cards -- and then you get parallels and a good amount of inserts there along with two autos per mini box, too. Bowman Draft boxes give you a massive brick of base and Chrome cards but this one is all Chrome -- and I think its smaller format might suit the tastes of more and more collectors these days. I also like the more people-friendly approach with the mini-boxes, making this one cheaper to dig into with guaranteed stuff. I landed a few key names in a few key spots here and a better box can happen, too, yet it also was a firmly satisfying rip. The price on these boxes also isn't huge, either. Check out the odds panel in the gallery and this box looks even better.

Product Grade: A+
Box Grade: A+
Fun Grade: B+ (wish these boxes were bigger)
