What's Buzz-worthy: How's this for a Buzzmania preview box? This one didn't make the cut ... so that might be a little foreshadowing of what's to come a week from today. ... This release was dramatically delayed and had a substantial format change from a 24-pack box but I have ripped it several times -- and will likely do more -- as I like how this one breaks with an autograph in every pack in a smaller box. (I just don't need a bunch of highlights base cards ... but I'll take the Roster cards here all day long and twice on Sunday or something.) This box included one of the top rookies to find (though they are inserts and not truly RCs based on the traditional definition, despite logo) in Rhea Ripley as well as some other notables there. The base set cards here are what they are ... I feel like they would be better with women's matches mixed in but those are held for the Women's Division set, which still won't arrive until next month for 2020. Go figure. The women stole the show in this box ... hit the tag for this one below to see more breaks and more thoughts. I've had a pretty good run of boxes but still haven't landed the top two autos possible in this one.

Product Grade: A (small boxes help this one a ton)
Box Grade: A (thanks to the ink and a Ripley)
Fun Grade: B+
