What's Buzz-worthy: Buzz doesn't do a lot of soccer but the draw of Chrome/Finest the last few years is undeniable in recent years and that can get me to bite -- and the color here shows why. Now, it's not the best box out there but I did land a solid rookie and some good color here. The Green auto? One in 47 packs (four boxes), while the other two Greens are both tougher than one box but should be found in every other one. Everything else found here is right with the odds. All in all, this feels like a pretty standard box but with a few rarer finds to keep it from being average. The stock here is thick and sturdy -- far cleaner than a lot of stuff with this stock in recent years -- and the printing is very solid as most of Topps' "Made in Italy" soccer and Formula 1 releases are. If you're a fan of the pitch or busting boxes for the possible big flip, this one is to be considered. If you're merely a collector (or a newb at best like me) it's a solid colorful break with some potential and safety with ink in every mini box.
Product Grade: A-
Box Grade: B (beat odds on three cards here but nothing feels big)
Fun Grade: B+ (good volume of color and a hit per mini)
