What's Buzz-worthy: This one is all about the chase of the two names on the box -- mostly -- but it's a brand that can deliver a lot between its tiers and a bunch of colorful parallels ... and that's what this one did. Not every blaster will have a serial-numbered parallel but this one did along with some color for sure, an insert of a good name and some other star power in both the base, rookies and inserts. I did a part of these to start and this one was definitely the better of the two ... but no Caitlin Clark or Angel Reese. There's likely a lot of this one made -- it wouldn't likely have been made save for the big rookies -- but it's worth the look at a modest price here ... or via hobby if you're a big spender. With Clark seemingly slotted for all-timer status from the start and already a college legend, this is worth the serious look on all fronts. A good name in a rarer spot could surprise well now ... and key names should be in demand later, too, as long as all goes as seemingly destined.

Product Grade: A-
Box Grade: B+ (no Clark or Reese but a numbered parallel and some good names made this a safer rip)
Fun Grade: B+
