What's Buzz-worthy: This one hit retail this month and I grabbed a few as it's a small box with big potential if you're finding it and ripping it at suggested retail price -- and as you can see here autographs are possible in these boxes. It's a small set -- just 100 cards -- and a pretty modest insert lineup with a smaller array of parallels in retail. Did I land any "big" cards here? I'm admittedly not that sure, but the auto could be $8-10 so it wouldn't take much to come out ahead in this one ... and I did land some name players I recognize without having watched much WNBA action in, well, years. (I have dabbled with the cardboard from all of the companies that have made it in the past -- Pinnacle, Fleer and Rittenhouse Archives -- before Panini.) As mentioned last time, hobby boxes have a bit of everything and guarantees (hit that link up top) while this format might over-deliver based on my handful of boxes based on my early look. The Prizm possibilities in these boxes include Silvers, Greens and Green Pulsar (/25) cards -- I have pulled each type -- and that's pretty much it across the board for all inserts here (Dominance, Widescreen, Fireworks, Fearless, Far Out, Emergent, Get Hyped). Autographs found in blasters are only Green Prizm Signatures cards and that's what I landed here. ... The difference between this one and Prizm NBA? There simply can't be as much of this one made -- and there aren't a dozen-plus other WNBA releases to compete with this one ... so once the wax is gone, things could get interesting for those cards that are in demand as there aren't other Rookie Cards to compete with those here. Meanwhile, prices on Sabrina Ionescu cards are crazy for the rarer pulls and even for mid-range stuff. There are plenty of notables to find here, too, on all those parallels -- at least 16 in the lineup from what I've seen. Again, this format doesn't have all of them but if you land the right names here, you're golden ... low-risk, high-reward. This one is worth a look as people clear shelves of the latest Mosaic reloads for NBA and other sports and overlook this lower-volume arrival -- this one might be a gem in waiting both right now and perhaps even more later.

Product Grade: A
Box Grade: A
Fun Grade: A- (good box is fun ... but these are smaller than NBA Prizm boxes so can possibly miss)
