What's Buzz-worthy: It's been more than a year since I last ripped into one of these and, ultimately the end result is the same but with come cleaner and crisper cutting and printing here that jettison some of the common issues I had with this one back when it arrived. These are a bit cheaper now and are a good way to amass base cards for a set or do some volume ripping but hobby remains your best bet on the big parallels and hits here as they flow more regularly there ... and there are a lot of reasons to rip, including a boatload of Rookie Cards for names who figure to be a big deal for years to come. ... 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. This one is a landmark release and 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 with this smaller format -- meanwhile, two just hobby packs equal a blaster. You'll see more of this one on BuzzMania Friday, April 5 ... be there.

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+ (nothing outlandishly good here but the typical results ... but a plus this time is some clean printing and cutting)
Fun Grade: B
