Card That Stole The Show: It's a tough call here but it comes down to the autos of Asuka, Almas and Moon. I think Moon is perhaps the bigger auto here over time, but she's out with an injury. I'll make it Almas in the here and now since I've found Asuka ink more than a few times and this one is a rarer parallel card. (And I almost missed that point.)

What's Buzz-worthy: This one wasn't that big of a hit when it first arrived but at a fraction of that regular price these auto-per-pack boxes can deliver pretty well with the combination of just a few names or key parallels. Two of the parallel autos here are on the stronger side while a couple other names are above the rest of the pack. It's not the best box but I'd imagine it's not the worst out there, either. ... This is a high-end brand in terms of what it delivers but with a crop of NXT newcomers that, on the whole, may not be as strong as the year before it. However, these NXT boxes do seem to age better than other brands simply because they are the home of several newcomers' autos and debuts. One drawback here is some super-skinny stock so damaged cards can happen easily. For those who might not know (or missed Hour 1 today), in 2016, Topps released the first standalone NXT product as an auto-per-pack-per box online-only release and then this one upped the ante putting 10 of those packs in the same box. These boxes are drying up so if you've pondered ripping into one, better now than never -- it will just take some looking to find one.

Product Grade: B+
