Autographs/Memorabilia: None ... but autos are possible

What's Buzz-worthy: These are perhaps among the cheapest Prizm cases on the planet -- hit that link up top to see the price -- and I've been tempted for sure as there are rarer things possible in this format, too, but not a massive array of color one might expect. This box was stacked on the insert front with big names from the past and present and we also got a hint of that among the base cards. This box also had a decent number of RCs vs. my previous one, so that can make things more interesting at times, too. This one has 25th anniversary stars in play here to help it out and that can be good as the lineup is small in these -- five inserts and 15 base per box -- as it's also a smaller box but the hobby boxes (link up top) also have a good, affordable price and even more in play. There are a handful of insert sets here as well as shots at autographs with Green and Green Pulsar (/25) being the options. I think the first Prizm WNBA release is the best one -- it's perhaps the rarest -- but all of them have their highlights and can deliver well at a lower price than other boxes out there. These are worth the look at about $6 a box right now if you bust by the case. That's a no-brainer and one key name in a key spot could pay for it all.

Product Grade: A- (big set but small boxes make this format riskier at original price)
Box Grade: A- (strong run of inserts ... good names everywhere from past and present)
Fun Grade: A- (tiny boxes can be hit and miss for top stars with 200-card set ... slasher price helps)
