What's Buzz-worthy: This one was rough -- but that can be expected with a smaller box and a set like this that is one more about volume and a few top-line RCs and then some long-odds, big-hit potential. Just like my last one of these, they aren't all winners and this one, well, it was average at best and perhaps even more of a dog. ... My first blaster here was a definite home run but this one is another reminder that there are boxes out there that don't have those and can run lean on rookies. (The RCs are the main heavy presence here with some star power -- but neither seem as strong as Heritage High Number in recent years.) ... As I noted before, if you're just wanting the flip, move to the next release -- or do hobby here -- but for a collector this one feels pretty crisp and clean to continue with the feel of the meaty first release. However, that said, the small checklist is perhaps best-ripped in hobby to make sure you get everybody. ... There are Chromes, Minis, French text, errors, missing-star variations, city uni photo variations and nicknames for starters can all be found here ... but at long odds.

Product Grade: A-
