What's Buzz-worthy: I grabbed a couple of these to stash for later in the year but this box was so ridiculous I had to post it now -- it'd be a seven-star box if my name was Meltzer. First pack? A Gold base card parallel /10 (one in nine boxes) and a Shotzi Blackheart auto -- the one sig I was still looking for (any color) here. The second? Another numbered parallel (they aren't guaranteed) with a Rhea Ripley Relic auto (one in six boxes) ... a card I have straight-up bought as a parallel. Both of these cards here have recently sold for $100 or more on eBay -- and that's for these basic versions. They are arguably the two biggest autos to find here but there are others who have sold very well here for parallels. (Since it's WWE's lowest level, there are also a number of cheaper autos as guys aren't yet super popular.) The base set here isn't among my favorites at all but the two-pack approach makes this a solid rip with an auto per and plenty of inserts ... I'll be ripping more beyond what I had planned to stash for later. For more thoughts on this one, check out my other breaks of this one.

Product Grade: A (small boxes help this one a ton)
Box Grade: A++ (two autos always on my want list = big win)
Fun Grade: A+ (the ink gets this one here this time)
