What's Buzz-worthy: With so many of the recent Marvel (and DC) movie being on the darker side, this second Ant-Man film has been played a few more times than others for Buzz and that led me to revisit this past release. The boxes are small -- and the ink is not the easiest of finds -- but I figured I'd rip in. Money-wise the results were break-even at best but my two memorabilia card are of lead characters so that didn't sting as much. Autos and sketch cards are both found four times per 16-box case but neither type was found here -- and even landing those aren't that big of a deal in a number of instances as there are some cheap autos to be found among the bigs. (Lilly ink is on the checklist, Rudd ink is not.) Also in the mix here are printing plates, auto-mem and triple-mem cards as well as mini autos and other ink. The subject list for signers feels small and the overall lineup is, too, but that does feel kind of appropriate here if you know the characters.

Product Grade: B+
Box Grade: A- (memorabilia cards are of good names but not all that pricey)
Fun Grade: B
