BuzzMania4: Busting 2020 Topps WWE Undisputed (Hour 1)

The biggest weekend in pro wrestling is here with WrestleMania 37 set for Saturday and Sunday from Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Fla. We'll make today a big day for wrestling collectors right here on The Buzz with #BuzzMania4, a series of WWE wax box/pack breaks.

This is Hour 1 ... a high-end opener with a hit in every single pack -- or an Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal in every box depending on how you want to look at things.

Card That Stole The Show: The timing on the Bianca Belair card makes that one the winner here, especially if I was a seller. (I'm picking Sasha Banks to win their match for the Smackdown women's title ... but would not be surprised if Belair won it for the biggest moment of her career.)

What's Buzz-worthy: I went high-end for the first time on this one and it delivered a timely rare card with that Belair and a good volume of color ... but didn't really land any unquestionable A-list autographs here save for perhaps Carmella and the Belair, though she's still on the uptick and not quite there yet for card value. I expected a little more in this box, to tell you the truth, but it's still an A box (barely) with those two and some other notables ... and the redemption was fulfilled in less than two weeks. The Undertaker parallel is a strong card, too, though I don't think many of us are ripping for parallels. In this release, the parallels are super strong and they make for some of the best basic cards of the year with HDR photos that make this arguably (it is in my mind) the best edition of this brand, which has been an annual high-end staple for WWE rippers since its arrival in 2015. The designs here have always been a little funky -- and they got funkier leading up to tis one -- but this one is clean and crisp giving the strong photos a ride, letting you see small moments. (Find Kairi Sane and Toni Storm's cards for two examples.) This one has got some really, really good photos and everything here is on thick stock and that typically grades well, too. The Ripley card is a nice find here but this box didn't have all of the key newcomers that are possible. Among autos here? Ripley, The Fiend, Alexa Bliss, Bayley, Charlotte Flair, Io Shirai, Lita, Randy Orton, Roman Reigns, Sasha Banks, Triple H and Shawn Michaels to name a few. There are also some impressive multi-auto cards, including a Four Horsewomen of WWE auto -- Banks, Flair, Becky Lynch and Bayley -- as well but those are tough pulls. This one has a deep checklist with plenty of parallels so there will be lean pulls at times -- but there's also safety in numbers here and that's why I have ripped into it more than a few times through the years.

Product Grade: A
Box Grade: A- (the Belair gets it here ... barely)
Fun Grade: A
