What's Buzz-worthy: This international Panini release is a simple one I bit on for a full box awhile back, but since I ran into condition issues left and right here this one has sat for a slower Buzz day ... but with an international WWE pay-per-view show set for tomorrow in Berlin making this one feel right here we are. What is this? It's a gaming release that's a bit no-frills but one that has some strong photo selections but some rough, rough, rough stock issues, particularly on corners of pretty much every card from a combo of either stock/cutting or packaging. Pretty much every card has a clumpy or even torn back corner where things went awry -- sometimes on all four -- and if that's not the case it can also happen on the fronts, though the foils can be moderately cleaner. If you're a collector not sweating the condition, this a solid little set you can collect for sure but I went this route in hopes of finding some clean copies for a few names I collect with an eye on grading. I still might on a couple -- I like the looks of the cards here that much -- but anything above an eight might be a miracle. What's in this? The breakdown is on the wrapper -- 30 Technician, 30 Powerhouse, 30 Mic Drop, 30 High Flyer and 30 Champion cards -- and that's it. The light stock here combines with dark backs and then the issues ... it's not flashy but they're perhaps first made to be played more than graded. I like this one with its look and checklist debuts ... if it gets really cheap, I'll probably rip some bulk looking for grading unicorns of names I like while perhaps grabbing some more singles on the cheap but that may not be do-able. This would have been a nice thick-stock or even Prizm release.

Product Grade: A in its execution ... B- with its materials/packaging (damage) issues that put a damper on this one
Box Grade: B- (damaged cards hurt feel here on everything ... even more than the 2022 debut set's issues)
Fun Grade: C- (see above and end of gallery)
