What's Buzz-worthy: Nothing big this time ... but that's been more the exception for me with these cheap boxes and that's why I have kept ripping them. I've only done a handful of them and have a couple autos and a 1/1 ... and I'll do more when the whim strikes me as long as they are dirt cheap price-wise, which they have been. Why? Just for the heck of it ... you never know when a good name in a good spot might pop up and one can't beat that when this one is the price of some pack formats of newer retail issues in some sports that are almost guaranteed to deliver nothing but bare-bones basics. The subsets here make these feel like there is more going on and it's a way to get some past names into the mix to help with the NASCAR ranks getting younger and younger it seems all the time -- at least that's my gut feeling based on what I see here.

Product Grade: B+
Box Grade: B+ (good variety and a fun, small box)
Fun Grade: A
