What's Buzz-worthy: I picked this up at its $29.99 suggested retail price and, well, it absolutely underwhelmed at that mark here and that's partly on me. Had I read the odds, this box would gave simply stayed on the shelf as the chances of finding bigger cards here are simply flat-out awful. Sketch cards are one in 900 packs (one in 180 blasters) and the two autograph sets here are one in 1,800 (one in 360 blasters) each. The only other chase here beyond what was in this one are a number of film cel cards that have tiers ranging from one in 180 packs (36 boxes) to up to one in 360 (72 boxes) -- also not good at all. How might they combine? Probably not well enough for my taste. That means what is seen here is pretty much every box at retail and that, well, it just seems less-than-ideal. If these were $9.99? They might be OK as a long-odds rip with super-low expectations. Yellows here are retail-only finds, while the hobby boxes add a few more numbered parallels and inserts into the mix -- but, again, this format is simply brutal. Among the autos, though? Elizabeth Olsen, Kat Dennings, Kathryn Hahn, Paul Bettany, Debra Jo Rupp and Randall Park for starters and you can find them with a number of cards in these sets with the decades approach seen in the series and base set also in play among the hits. Hobby is the absolute only way to go here until these show up in absolute slash-and-burn clearance sales -- and the box notes there are likely redemptions in play, too.

Product Grade: B+ (some big ink is possible in this product ... way easier in hobby)
Box Grade: C- (very typical and unimpressive results for blasters)
Fun Grade: D (How is this a $29.99 SRP?)
