What's Buzz-worthy: This is one of those rarer scenarios where I rip into a box and actually landed one specific auto that I was looking for -- and it's the best one in the product. The first autographed cards of Australian (via the UK) star Toni Storm are scorchers here with the lowest eBay completed-auction price paid for her base auto checking in at $95 with a high of $300 for a Gold parallel (/10). With some boxes in this one (one per case) checking in with five autographs and a relatively small checklist, you have a decent shot at her ink here. Meanwhile, there are only a handful of active eBay auctions where asking prices for her basic auto range between $125 and $150 right now ... not bad for a young star who just recently got her first limited looks on the main roster as part of the NXT invasion. (She'll be back.) Landing a Bronze copy of this card makes it even better -- though grading anything from this release will be tough as the stock is dark and super-skinny. On-card autos are also a big plus here but that means they got handled more, making those elite marks a tad tougher. ... NXT boxes of the past have always been an auto-per-pack situation so this one is a little more different but a little more affordable. Other newcomers here include Walter, Io Shirai, Keith Lee, Matt Riddle, Chelsea Green and Mia Yim who may or may not have had ink earlier this year and that helps the demand here -- they certainly make it a little more interesting than the Smackdown auto lineup, for example. Check out my other breaks of this one to see more of what I've thought on this one. The five-auto box possibilities will keep me testing these out as the Storm ink is big but there are a few others who could be popular over time on the checklist.
Product Grade: B+ (main set isn't my favorite approach ... roster set is A+)
Box Grade: A+ (thanks to one card)
Fun Grade: A- (landing the big one helped)
