What's Buzz-worthy: It's been a while since I ripped one of these boxes -- I think I like the jumbo packs better now that they're all in discount bins out in the retail wild (at least until they get gobbled up) -- but they are consistent in what they can deliver. Then this one had its typical centering and rough cut issues. Some better, some worse than the norm (fronts and backs). ... As I noted before, this format is just not that dynamic -- it's a basic mix with Silvers and Greens -- and the expectations should be a little less dynamic, too, though strong stuff is possible if luck is on your side. (Rip hobby boxes for the sure shot and plenty of volume.) 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. Because of this, the RC volume is abnormally high as they are all in the base set. (Previous releases used "First NXT card" labels on inserts and then RC logos once stars arrived on Raw or Smackdown or had those NXT debuts in insert sets.) ... This set has a deep 200-card checklist that's loaded with past, present and future stars so that can mean hot boxes or lean ones, especially with only four cards per pack. (Meanwhile, two just hobby packs equal a blaster.)

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)
Box Grade: B- (better names here this time but some rough base for centering and scratches ... even creases/wrinkling)
Fun Grade: B-e
