What's Buzz-worthy: These boxes are small, so that means there can be hit-and-miss results with some big, big stuff possible but also some reality-based boxes out there as well. This box shows some things that can help that out, though. As has been done at times in the past, a few boxes per case will include an extra hit (as the box notes it as two autos and one mem per normally) and there's a heavy amount of young stars who can work out in your favor. Money-wise this one might not be there just yet with the premium prices on these right now, but the Joey Bart is an auto with good potential. The Wong isn't one of those, especially with 300 copies made, while the Relics are decent younger names but nothing huge. Check out this link for some of the big stuff possible ... they are in there. To me, this is a brand that's perhaps best consumed with a group break where you might come out with more hits than you would opening a box for a low-ish price or by the case ... but there isn't going to be one of those monsters in there every time. I may be crazy, but perhaps this one could be bolstered by having a small non-Relic base set and a RC and veteran in every box, too?

Product Grade: A-
Box Grade: B+ (Bart appearance and an extra Relic make this one more comfortable)
Fun Grade: B (small boxes)
