What's Buzz-worthy: My hunt for Shedeur Sanders ink came up short once again but this, too, was a pretty strong box -- especially for the price I found them at. While the arrival of Bowman U Chrome will perhaps steal attention away from this with its advantages of Chrome and full licensing (as well as him being at Colorado on the card). This box was relatively solid -- at least for a box price closer to its original release -- with names as Doubs is now a Green Bay Packer and a key on offense (two TDs in Week 1), Mayer being a second-round pick of the Raiders, Jarrett a rookie with the Bucs and Fleming still at Ohio State where he's got 11 catches for 100 yards so far this season. ... As I said last time, I'm in a college football kind of mood lately -- 'tis the season -- and this one is off-radar a bit but is the kind of affordable shot at some good stuff if you want ink of notables on some of their first cards. On-card ink, too, and that early part is because these boxes are packed with active college players on NIL deals back then. Why rip? Colorado's Sanders is in here with both autos and base cards -- and they're in demand -- while other guys already in the NFL are also in here such as Bryce Young, who I pulled in a past break.

Product Grade: A-
