What's Buzz-worthy: My second pack here? Better than the first in a couple spots -- but damage (at right) on the best card, oddly bad centering on half of the base, a washed out Red side on a Red White & Blue parallel and the retail sticker price ($15.98) all added up to a rough go in the ring with this one. ... Like the blasters, it's not that flashy of a per-pack mix to start with. This format adds the Red White & Blue parallels to help it a lot but I don't think it's enough at the price as base cards are still super-plentiful and cheap as singles more times than not. Silvers and Greens are also a highlight here if you get one -- they're not guaranteed -- on a key name though the big set makes that harder. (Silver this time was a good name but perhaps not a money name.) ... This one is a landmark release in that it's the debut of Rookie Cards for almost all of the NXT 2.0 stars (a small number snuck into a couple sets last year) and a number of NXT UK performers who didn't have cards, either, beyond it being a Panini first. Becuase of this, the RC volume is abnormally high as they are all in the base set. Previous releases used "First NXT card" labels and then RC logos once stars arrived on Raw or Smackdown or had those NXT debuts in insert sets. ... These carry a higher suggested retail price at retail than Prizm stuff of a few years ago (like all Prizm/Optic now) so that eats into things, too, if you're looking to flip and don't land something more notable.

Product Grade: A- (a lot of off-centered cards and rough cuts for my taste in this landmark release -- holds it back from top marks)
Pack Grade: B- (saved by the Silver)
Fun Grade: C+ (dramatically poor centering on half the base, bent Austin and one faded out Red card ... again)
