What's Buzz-worthy: This one may have been in some of your hands long ago, but they finally saved some for the kids and Buzz ... so here we are. This single pack paid off well with Trevor Lawrence and Justin Fields appearing back to back and then color for two players for my team here -- so a price-wise win and then something to make the emotional side a little happy, too. The packs are simplified this year -- 12 cards instead of three packs of four -- and that is a change that would be fine in the future if you ask me. The color parallels here are on par with past years but not really my favorite colors in the Prizm rainbow. The design is perhaps cleaner than last year but the lineup still feels a little too simple and some of the framework here feels stiff, overbearing or just a big plain depending on which subset it's from. All in all, it's not bad ... I just want more to chew on within the mix when it comes to variety. (I'm sure you get a little more of this in other formats.) I bought a boatload of this one last year before things started drying up big and new releases started being flipper-fests, but I'll probably just go singles here unless something really captures my attention or if they start leaving a lot more for the kids than a few single packs. I'll do at least one more of these (limit two!) but this one was the big one -- a strong pack to start.

Product Grade: A-
Pack Grade: A+ (Lawrence and Fields back to back in pack)
Fun Grade: B+ (small simple packs and at $12 SRP can be hit and miss)
