Autographs/Memorabilia: None

What's Buzz-worthy: This is more toward the average box of Ginter -- it's not lacking but it's not all that flashy, either. This one is a brand I've bought plenty of every year since its arrival with Topps in 2006 though it's not always a generous one hits-wise at retail. (And autographs actually don't drop in every hobby box, either.) Generally, this brand's blasters have been delivering Relics at a odds-defying clip for me so going hitless isn't the end of the world for me. Some good news on this one is that the bot flippers don't seem to be latching onto this one as hard -- so you might be able to find them out there in the barren retail wild. ... Poke around for more of my thoughts on this recently released brand.

Product Grade: A-
Box Grade: B
Fun Grade: B (blasters just need something different added to mix every time)
