What's Buzz-worthy: I have either missed out on or flat-out not seen a lot of the NFL releases in recent times -- though many have been delayed, of course -- but I picked up one of these somewhat reluctantly as, well, I'm just not that big of a fan of the Chrome stuff's prices these days due to heavy demand (and flipper hoards). This one was a fun rip as a collector, though, with multiple Mahomes cards, a nicer Bo Jackson parallel and then a numbered card, too, albeit of a guy I know little about. That's fine ... I'm casual here with football and have pretty much conceded that picking off low-end singles is where I'll go if I do at all. (A combination of cost and can't collect everything ... even for any particular players.) This format guarantees one Silver die-cut and then three Red & Blues and it delivered those beyond the basics and then added one more ... with a boatload of RCs in play, too. That alone will probably entice me to grab another at some point (if it presents itself) as the crop is a strong one but if not I'll dabble a little here and there. The die-cuts and color really jump out here and this one could be a fun collector release even if plenty is made like was the case here in the past.

Product Grade: A-
Box Grade: A- (Jackson, Mahomes, Parsons and Wilson cards stand out with the numbered find)
