What's Buzz-worthy: I'll start with this thought ... I know nothing about Fortnite or even which character is popular here, but I know that there's some serious demand for rarer stuff here. (Click here to see eBay.) Narrow that search without "Series 3" and then there's some massive cardboard out there. Now, how rare are things? Panini doesn't offer up odds on the boxes but this might be an ideal time for them do try that as it might entice people to dig in. There are 332 cards in the release with what doesn't really appear to be any dramatic tweaking other than he volumes of what's on the checklist. Parallels drop one per blaster with a second one in a topper pack here but had that Laser card been a character called Midas? (Click here.) And there are others. The parallels include Holofoil (one per box most times), Lasers (one per blaster here) and then rarer Optichromes. There are no details other than the in-pack versions drop one in six packs. So the volumes of the cards made and the odds depend on their sum of the whole. here are 25 Uncommon Outfits, 75 Rare ones, 100 Epic ones, 23 Legendary ones and only nine Frozen ones. There are also 65 Harvesting Tools and 35 Wraps ... and it looks like they also have tiers but those are not broken down on the box. I grabbed this since it was relatively new (a recent release, not last year) and it was affordable, too, simply as a sampler. I like the look and feel here so there's an outside shot I may do one more -- just to dabble and feed those interested here -- and there's a chance I might throw something here into a non-sports grading order just to mix it up. Sports fans might scoff at something like this but there are a ton of people playing the game and that means a lot of potential buyers for stuff found here. I liked it more than I thought I would.

Product Grade: A (colorful, simple, cleanly printed and bold)
Box Grade: A- (seemed interesting and I got several tiers of cards here)
Fun Grade: B (Perhaps too simple?)
