What's Buzz-worthy: This one was a loser and a winner at the same time. The side panel here? "find two cereal box exclusive Unparalleled inserts" ... and that's precisely what was missing in this one as I checked in with only 13 cards instead of the stated 15. Normally missing cards or missing hits would make this a D or an F box -- that's kind of a fundamental thing on the grade front -- but then I found a Prizm Black Trevor Lawrence RC that basically pays for the box (or a big chunk of it) and then one more for him and then a player I'd want to find on a type of card I like here ... an acetate Mac Jones. Throw in some other notable names and, well, this still feels like an A- level pack given how Lawrence popped in so few slots and how much star power is here. Now, a lot of stuff is easily found here -- it's just spread out -- so nothing is really pricey other than the Prizm (around box price) but these boxes aren't that pricey, either. I'm fine with that ... you don't have to break the bank to chase some rookies. ... I dig the variety here a lot -- the acetate cards and Optic cards here make it a solid mix -- and this is one with the rookie crop that I'll definitely do more of, especially if stuff starts hitting discount bins as more stuff is always on the way.

Product Grade: A
Box Grade: A- (Prizm Lawrence makes the box ... even if it might be short on cards)
Fun Grade: B+ (shorted cards but still good)
