What's Buzz-worthy: My second one of these was a bit of an impulse grab as a retail chain had a buy one, get one half off sale and the pickings were slim ... but I still like this one despite this being an iffy box beyond the run of rookies. ... I did a pair of hobby boxes here upon arrival -- and that's still the way to go -- but this format is perhaps more of a "LITE" hobby box version as the pack volume isn't bad for the more-premium price and you should land a good amount of the basics (most importantly the rookies) without going with the full hobby box price. I'd still do hobby, though, as you should land basically the full set and all those key rookies and then a guaranteed hit of some sort and more. The power here is the potential for good names on those Blue Chromes ... but I again struck out there. For more thoughts on this release, check out my other breaks.

Product Grade: A
Box Grade: A- (nothing too special here other than landing basically all the key rookies ... and I like that)
Fun Grade: B
