What’s Buzz-worthy: This retail tin is small but has the potential to pack some good punch for a low price with most of it being Rookie Cards and inserts -- and if you land a top name in those spots it could be an easy win. The challenge? Big set, small tin. You get only two percent of the base set here but a decent amount of the stuff that matters more. This time? Not much big stuff this time and a few cards with damage that dampened the feel. Since the tins are small there's not a ton of room for packs to bounce around but things could happen -- my damage here on my best base card (Chubb) wasn't from being in a tin, while the Purple corners did show wear but not everything else did so the jury is out whether that was from this packaging format or before. The rookies and inserts are the appealing draw here along with the ability to dabble -- or at least taste-test -- with Donruss to see if you like more. If you do, hit some of those other formats at the link up top or grab some of these.

Product Grade: A- (some good stuff in this one across the board)
Box Grade: C (some damage here not from tins did not help an average-ish result)
Fun Grade: C (small tins can be hit and miss)
