What's Buzz-worthy: I finally picked up one of those mega-sized retail repacks that include a few of these packs and then some other stuff but since its's a repack I figured I'd turn it into just small Buzz Breaks of each thing ... and, well, this one was an average start for sure. And that's despite being a release that's jam-packed with good names and a boatload of variety. This time? The variety showed up, but not much else beyond maybe one or two cards here. With a single pack that can happen. ... This all-in-one brand focuses on rookies and top stars and with more shots at fewer names you can have key ones line up a few times in the same box or pack. (Didn't happen this time.) Bronze parallels are exclusives here and I landed one but ultimately nothing here was that big of a deal and the pack was underwhelming (yet average) for sure. This one is the home of more than just RCs and it's one for collectors -- arguably the top brand of the Panini years if you ask me across the board -- without breaking the bank. A lot of stuff is easily found in this release -- it's just spread out -- and it's been ripped so it's mostly easily found. I'm fine with that ... you don't have to break the bank to chase some rookies. This single pack? Not that impressive ... I'm glad I did the repack box -- hopefully they'll get better from here.

Product Grade: A
Pack Grade: C (see below)
Fun Grade: C (small packs can still be hit and miss ... even with this brand)
