What's Buzz-worthy: My very first blaster of this one was one that delivered very well to give me a good impression here ... but my hobby box? Well, it was back to reality just like all of the other blasters I have opened. The Rookie Card volume here is massive and the crop of names isn't bad -- though it's deep with, most likely, a lot more guys who won't pan out than do. Some safety in those numbers. This box was relatively standard overall with a Relic this time and not one of the many other options. One surprise here that I have not seen with all of my hobby boxes in, say, at least the last six or seven years? I didn't land any kind of variation card. Typically, you get an action in every hobby box as almost a default ... didn't happen for me this time. ... Chromes, Minis, French text, errors, missing-star variations, city uni photo variations and nicknames for starters can all be found here. If I do one more hobby box -- it's 50-50 odds right now as I have to post some blasters first -- I may have more thoughts. This one wasn't all that much of a talker.

Product Grade: A- (good potential here ... but not in every box)
Box Grade: B (some solid finds but no one big card this time)
Fun Grade: B (good volume but not a ton of variety)
