What's Buzz-worthy: These boxes are loaded with Chrome, base cards and prospects, of course, but most people break 'em for the ink and some color. All of those things were in play here and it was an A+ box to me. Why? The Gold auto is one in 276 packs. The Atomic Invicta is one in 345 and the Class of 2021 auto is rare, too, but I didn't see those among the wrapper odds. The other colors here are also rarer than one box but the rarest stuff here was easily enough to get this to A+ status regardless of who appears on them. My inserts included some good notables from recent years, though my Refractors were light on the top names of this year ... and really my Chromes were even leaner beyond a couple names. ... Just like I noted in past years, based on the pack breakdown here the big names don't flow as well on the Chrome side because, well,  there's a lot less to find there, but there's a ton to look into here overall -- and remember this is a Hobby-only release so these boxes and the Super Jumbos (five autos per box) are the only options again this year. Keep in mind that there's also no retail component, so that can also affect how people can get their hands on this one -- or inspire more secondary market pick-ups whether that's singles or lots. There are a lot of ways to prospect and they all often hinge on this release every year.

Product Grade: B+
Box Grade: A+ (some rarer pulls all lined up in this box)
Fun Grade: B (you get a ton of Chrome and base here ... but it gets very repetitive)
