What's Buzz-worthy: I picked up a couple of these Fanatics boxes awhile back thinking they might be dramatically different but these boxes have basically the same inclusions as standard boxes save for a Red The Champ Is Here card. This box had a few names here and there but the base card lineup might have been stronger than the inserts in this one. Blasters in general are home to a Rookie Card of some type in every pack as well as orange-foil memorabilia cards, so that's a plus. These boxes don't carry odds and are leaner on non-rookie inserts than I'd like -- perhaps a move to add value to them by not having too many out there but that's a little dry for Donruss. I'm not the biggest fan of this design this year but this brand has been among my favorites the last few years with its various collector-minded designs and inclusions ... so that's why it made today's marathon. Hit the link above for a few better options.

Product Grade: B+
Box Grade: B
Fun Grade: B (feels too light on inserts ... something Donruss delivers in some formats very well)
