What's Buzz-worthy: I haven't previously ripped into a box of this format but this release is one that is a clean and interesting gaming set but with some issues ... at least with this Topps India version. (The cards are identical to the UK version but the materials and packaging here are sloppier with more condition issues in the end result ... only really an issue if you like to grade cards -- and I would like to grade some finds here.) ... If you don't know, Slam Attax cards are a vibrant and affordable rip if you're just looking for names to add to your collection, early cards of new stars or a flashy rip on the cheap. They're primarily made for the UK and European market (not sold in the U.S.) and then the Topps India crew re-issues the UK version of the set with everything but hits. This is one of a few packages made for that market that you can find out there without breaking the bank. It's not a perfect release -- a lot of stock and cutting issues here -- but the basics are nice. You just can't reasonably think of grading key finds here (not that many are ... but I would if they were clean). This one delivered right as it should have on the guarantees and it was generally fun to break just with flaws. The packs are clear so you can see the top and bottom cards and the foils are all on top and the wrappers can and do at times pull specs off of the foil surface even with careful opening. The bonus cards here -- inserts noted above -- are in their own packs. I liked this one -- it wasn't perfect but I may do more as it's cheaper to go this route than it is to import a UK display box thanks to shipping and conversion rates. I do like this one but the Chrome version -- one that has a lot better print quality, rare Refractors and autographs -- is even better. That one can be found here.

Product Grade: A- (India printing is more of a B/B+ .... see below)
Box Grade: A- (affordable and good volume but see below)
Fun Grade: B (very common edge, corner, creasing and curling issues can affect all cards here)
