What's Buzz-worthy: Just like when I opened a single White Sparkle pack of this one, this brand to me (a non-prospector ... just can't collect everything) is a bit of a tough sell as it's a relatively deep checklist and some base cards show up like several here with no team logo. Why? Players are from a junior college, high school or college without a licensing deal and those cards can be tough visuals beyond all the varying uniforms as they just feel incomplete. (Though they do have logos on unis, which is good.) Ink doesn't apparently flow every time/heavily here like it does in better formats but this one did include an auto to make it a win from the bargain bin for me ... I figured at its slasher price, I'd give it a look as some of the names possible here are even better-known now. My auto? Probably not ... but I'll take that vs. not at all here.

Product Grade: B+ (big set but a lot of deep prospecting in non-pro unis here)
Box Grade: B+ (ink works for me for a bargain-bin box ... I don't think they fall in every one)
Fun Grade: B
