What's Buzz-worthy: Ripped one more of these from the bargain bin as there are some good names to be found and there is potential between hits and parallel finds. This time? A serial-numbered parallel. ... This one is a bargain box with potential as the lineup of inserts and color here is pretty consistent so it's just a matter of who you can get, whether it's rookies or veterans. ... The bigger boxes -- like megas (one auto guaranteed) -- are perhaps the ideal break of this one at bargain prices if you can find them (hit the link up top), but if you're not worried about price then hit the hobby boxes or FOTL if you can find them and the price is right for your ripping. The big potential here is with ink and various colors -- and those helped this one get the overall product an A grade from me but it may not feel that way at times with smaller boxes like this.

Product Grade: A
Box Grade: A- (not flashy and can be topped ... but numbered rookie and some other good inserts got it to a borderline A in a small box)
Fun Grade: B
