Rookie Cards – None are noted on-card via a RC logo, but anyone in base set without previous-year AEW, WWE, WCW, Impact, Panini Lucha Libre AAA or BBM (Japan) or Leaf in-pack cards is likely a RC here based on traditional definitions. (So there are some this time but perhaps not as many as last time.)

What's Buzz-worthy: This is just my second rip of these and it was quite different than my first -- so I'm not sure if this one is an anomaly or if the last one was ... but I didn't mind it. Last time did have the tougher finds, though, so this might be closer to normal but still slightly off. This time around, I landed five horizontals vs. two last time and a little different mix ... but with a number of the key, young home-grown and some international names in the AEW ranks here added to the oomph. It wasn't bad in my book and this one over-delivered in some ways and also once again has some finds that are not the norm in one box. It may not have a top-tier "bigger" card in here this time, but there's a lot of depth to get this one to an A-grade to me. All in all, I like it. ... As I noted last time, this one is a chromed-out tiered release with plenty of star power, a good volume of Rookie Cards (first times in packs) and a lot of colorful potential and parallels but the possibility of potential hits (autographs and memorabilia) isn't regular even in hobby boxes. ... The chrome factor here is a key for many -- and for chasers/flippers -- but I think hobby boxes (hit that link up top) are the way to go as ink will be found in every few boxes. In blasters? A quick scan looked like a few options at one in 240 packs or more. There are also a number of quirky inserts that can be found more often in hobby, too.

Product Grade: A- 
Box Grade: A- (good volume of young names this time)
Fun Grade: B+
