What's Buzz-worthy: This foursome of boxes shows some of the potential here but also reinforces that the best way to rip this one is either via hobby boxes (an auto and a mem pretty much guaranteed every time) or via a blaster case with both options available right now on the cheap (cases in Black November) and as safe as it gets. Just four boxes here included 160 Rookie Cards and for a lot of them these are among their first or only cards as NXT is the WWE's starting point. Greens are a retail-only find and Silvers are also plentiful here and those are reasons to rip with all those RCs giving this one some good come-out-ahead potential with low ripping prices. Now, sure, singles prices here are not the strongest as boxes are still easily found but over time they won't be as there are serial-numbered parallels and hits here that will keep people ripping. This was part of a handful of loose blasters for me and only one delivered a hit (I suspect there are likely a few per case but I have not ripped one ... I want to) and then a couple of numbered cards ... but if you land a good name in those spots, they will pay for a good chunk here ... and the autos in this release are on-card with a number of notable NXT alumni among the signers. I think I will he ripping one at some point ... just to see what kind of volume I can find. For more thoughts -- good and not as good -- check out some of my other breaks of this one.

Product Grade: A 
Lot Grade: B+ (good rookie volume but these were relatively lean boxes for who was found on inserts)
Fun Grade: B- (needs more parallels or "other" type beyond an exclusive color)
