What's Buzz-worthy: My last of three bargain-bin finds here is ultimately a pretty average pack ... it happens. There weren't a bunch of rookies here but I'll admit I still don't know a couple of them and that's one way this one is a deep and landmark release ... a massive rookie crop. There was some star power here -- in the base -- and maybe some in the inserts but on the whole nothing big here, especially given how much of this one was made and ripped. ... These originally dropped at $15.98 but are down around $9 now, which is still high but makes the misses more palatable. ... 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 the previous 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. ... This one was a huge set upon arrival and it still is ... and I think all of it is worth the look at the reduced price now but maybe not in a shelf-clearing mode. Retail formats are not all that generous with the set size but I like a lot of what is in this one. I gave a hobby box a thought for #BuzzMania6 later this month but didn't. There will be plenty beyond that, though. Be there.

Product Grade: A- (a lot of off-centered cards and rough cuts in this landmark release -- holds it back from top marks)
Pack Grade: C+ (closer to average this time with some mild highlights ... would have stung at original price)
Fun Grade: C (nothing big here)
