What's Buzz-worthy: My second pack of this one was remarkably familiar as my first -- not with identical cards but with a run of base cards that didn't wow me (It's a big set ... but does it really need Brian Sipe?) and a lineup of inserts that was a bit dry, too, save for the appearance of a Tom Brady parallel in the bonus pack ... that has perhaps the worst centering in the pack. (Last time, I got an A-lister rookie ... off-centered.) All in all it's about the same feel here with Brady having some potential to pay for the pack based on asking prices and past sales but those have diminished in the weeks after the  initial release. The centering issues with this Prizm framing weren't in play here but at least one had bends in the top layer. As I noted last time, the set's big size -- 330 cards and then the rookies atop that -- makes for the dry base card presence here that feels under-average for sure but should be expected. Really, this break -- just like last time -- is all about one card. Like other formats, these packs are a little pricier than just a few years ago but they are simpler in that it's just one big pack and then the bonus. If you get a run of base stars these are a bargain but if you miss then it can sting. This one once again would be a C pack to me without that Brady card. ... Will I do more? I will not clear shelves like some of you out there, but if I spot some in the wild I'll dabble ... the big potential is there -- but rip hobby boxes if you can swing it for more stuff and guarantees.

Product Grade: A- (could easily pull this down to a B+ if condition issues persist)
Pack Grade: A- (saved by Brady)
Fun Grade: B
