What's Buzz-worthy: With Buzz playing The Waiting Game for some new/old wax to bust here, this one is a "throwback" to one of my favorites from just last year. It's a nice-looking return for Chrome on the WWE front and it's one where you get a pretty good run of Refractors and more even in a small-box format -- but with color and hits rare. Hobby? Another story -- at least on the hits front -- as you get two autographs each time. If you just want to chase the base set and some inserts here but don't want to rip hobby, these blasters are a solid break with longer-odd potential on color and ink. If you want ink, hobby boxes (link up top) with the ink ... but even color there is relatively tough to find. This box is not the flashiest break this time but the Ripley RC gets it to a B+ (barely) in my book as she's a top draw among the newcomers. The parallels in this box were dry despite the volume. With so much WWE dropping in the last few months, singles prices on good autos are lighter than they should be for all releases, but once the hobby boxes dry up so will the bargains on parallel ink. There are some good ones in this release to watch.

Product Grade: A+ (strong photos and good stuff across product) 
Box Grade: B+ (thanks to Ripley ... otherwise would be closer to average)
Fun Grade: B- (tiny boxes and long, long odds in blasters)
