 Autographs: None this time ... but they typically are found one per 20-pack box.

What's Buzz-worthy: I'm on a heater ... my fourth pack here revealed my fourth 1/1 card in a row -- this time once again with the autograph box where, well, no ink this time but ink can be found in this release. Presley isn't a stranger to cardboard appearances between acting and her life with Elvis Presley, but this one was perhaps my oldest-era find for pop culture in terms of being off the modern radar. Not a bad thing -- I just landed newer names before this rip. Had this been ink, it would be a big card -- she's got a nice 'graph where you'll see every letter -- while this one just carries the big white box spot for it. ... If you missed my previous breaks, I'll revisit some of my thoughts now. ... This previews what looks to be an interesting release to come later this year with each encased preview card limited to no more than 10 serial-numbered copies. In play are a ton of colors and textures -- and one box I saw opened had seven 1/1 cards as well as a 1/1 auto -- and there's a lot of stuff to be found. It includes standard card proofs, autographed card proofs (a big blank white box where ink goes like this one) and then some signed versions (one per box), some apparently rarer sketch cards and then other proofs. (Teasers noted pre-production and production cards ... so perhaps some names here won't make the formal release later but I couldn't really discern a difference online.) ... Some of the 50-plus notables on the checklist include Clint Eastwood, Al Pacino, Charlie Sheen, Chevy Chase, Chuck Norris, Geena Davis, Molly Ringwald, Ric Flair, Carmen Electra, Marisa Tomei, Uma Thurman, Floyd Mayweather Jr., Gisele Bundchen, Samuel L. Jackson, Natalie Portman, Sean Astin and Zoë Saldaña for starters. ... These are cleanly and crisply printed on what looks to be chrome or plastic stock with a lot of colorful, flashy looks and I'm ready to dig in on more for this one as well as the regular set ... TBD on all that once info is released. (Nothing yet.)

Product Grade: A
Pack Grade: A (a 1/1 is a win every time)
Fun Grade: A- (just one card but I had no real misses with any of my packs)
