What's Buzz-worthy: Buzz played the waiting game on this one as I just wasn't feeling that price at retail -- and that paid off in this case as a cheap box delivered a pair of Seattle star inserts to at least make the bargain price OK this time. Generally speaking, everything here was pretty clean printing and cutting-wise save for one RC that had its top foil layer bent or cut before the gluing stage ... not a big deal but Prizm rookies are a draw and it looks like there are only a couple per box here. The rest of the box was relatively standard stuff -- though this one included a Green insert parallel, too, so I'm not sure if it technically over-delivered with that. I'm likely a one-and-done on this one as the ink volume is likely low here (hit hobby for guarantees). Silver parallels for base along with Green and Green Pulsar (/25) parallels for all inserts are the lineup here along with autos and then Green Pulsar autos and that's about it. These boxes are small (another reason I passed at the original suggested retail price, especially seeing that they weren't selling that well) and that's one more reason to dig in on hobby if you're sold here. There are seven insert sets in this one beyond the base cards and autos but the stuff like Color Blast is hobby only.

Product Grade: B+
Box Grade: A- (two Seattle stars on inserts helped)
Fun Grade: B (tiny boxes will be hit and miss for top stars with a 100-card set)
