What's Buzz-worthy: The two biggest names that are draws here -- Jackson Holliday and Druw Jones -- seem to be SP autos for the basics here so that's not the best thing to help these boxes that actually arrived in late 2022 but there's still plenty to be found here with nothing but signed cards in play for every card in every box. I'll admit I didn't know a lot of the names here but with a quick check of completed sales and asking prices I think I did well considering this one was under $100 shipped. (Typically, they will cost more.) This box led thing off with three 1/1s right on top and the Gold is a guy who's in his first season at LSU and is seen by some as a potential top-10 pick next year. One other Metal card here also looked like it should pay for a good part of the box if not all, while several other names had stiff asking prices for their cards on eBay. I'm not a prospector for the most part but I liked the volume here and when I saw the reduced price I had to bite. The player group is deep with over 300 players in the basic set though a lot of them are 1/1 signers, which is a bummer ... but there's still plenty to chew on here. In fact, all of my Metal autos are guys who didn't have the full array of basic autos so that probably helps their value here some and not all boxes have three 1/1s ... so this ons is an A+ in my book this time. This kind of release is the ultimate prospector's kind of box and with the volume here I dig them, too.

Product Grade: A- (crazy volume of hits in every box with some notables in the mix to chase)
Box Grade: A+ (hard to hate on three 1/1s in a box ... even if I don't know all the names)
Fun Grade: B+ (basic design does get repetitive here even with color changes)
