What's Buzz-worthy: With nothing new this week out in the retail wild at the time, I opted for one of these as it's one of the more-affordable options ... and it delivered a pair of top names I'd want to find but with damage on one and rough centering on the other. I wasn't sure if I would have dabbled here but in this case it was enough to make me consider their previous release over this one. (I liked it better ... the white box preferred as the cards just looked cleaner.) This format includes some exclusive Green Groovin' inserts and others only found in retail as a whole and this box apparently once again included one of the apparently rarer Green Groovin' cards -- one in 20 boxes per the box -- like I got last time. My inserts had some good names but seeing the same guy twice in just three cards was a little rough while still OK. (Could have been two cards for a lesser name, I guess.) I'll likely try the college version to come once it drops, though, to see how it compares here. If you're a fan of certain players there are a ton of cards for them to find here between all of the parallels/inserts. For the safest break, open a hobby box which will include four autos and I believe a premium printing approach.

Product Grade: A- (my initial grade ... after seeing more likely slides to a B)
Box Grade: B (two cards that were wins for me had damage or brutal centering)
Fun Grade: B (small boxes can be hit and miss)
