Autographs/Memorabilia: None -- manufactured Relic (above)

What's Buzz-worthy: With this year's WrestleMania in the books this past weekend -- and plenty of this one ripped already -- the curiosity of the Relic pack got me on this one this time ... I wondered what surprises there might be in this one as it's a very simple release overall. What did I find? It's basically the same mix here -- just fewer packs without a guaranteed autograph -- but I did find a very rare manufactured Relic card. The Sane card here is one in every 98 boxes -- yes, boxes -- and is among the tougher pulls that don't include ink. (Autographed Relics are in the mix here with everything limited to just 10 copies if I remember correctly.) As I've said before, the structure of this one isn't always the friendliest format -- a main set of dated highlight cards from throughout the year -- but this one keeps it simple visually without becoming mundane and that helps it improve upon last year despite having a similar approach. One thing to help mix it up here? Foilboard parallels that jump out of the pack. The Roster cards feel more like a base set here -- 50 cards -- and are also improved with stronger photos in many cases that are more portrait moments from action (in-ring or entrances) compared to the studio shots with an overwhelming backdrop last year. The printing and cutting of the stock this year also feels a little more clean and study -- a plus for an affordable release, too. All things considered, if I'm ripping this one it will be hobby boxes this year for me.

Product Grade: B+
Box Grade: A+ (a manufactured Relic is a bit of a bummer ... but not when it's a good name and a rare parallel)
Fun Grade: B- (tiny boxes and basic release feels like it needs more inclusions)
