What's Buzz-worthy: My first one of these beat the odds and delivered ink while this one was back to reality and perhaps an average box as I don't really think I landed anything that's out of the ordinary right now ... basically an average box -- but nothing deficient -- so I give it a B- grade. The Bowman packs here are just the basics so the chase falls in the two Mega Box packs that have a different texture than the standard stuff. There are plenty of Chrome parallels starting at one in 28 packs (14 boxes) and even higher odds for parallels of inserts. There are also image variations to chase in the Mega Box packs -- one in 310 for starters -- so if you don't land ink you might check codes on the backs of cards just to make sure you didn't find something simple that's rarer. I again landed a severely miscut card (top is the bottom of the next card on the sheet -- last card in gallery) but that happens. Overall, for me, the odds of stuff here are a little high for my non-prospecting tastes but for those ripping and holding in bulk there's always some down-the-line potential.

Product Grade: A-
Box Grade: B- (closer to average box)
Fun Grade: B- (closer to average box)
