What's Buzz-worthy: Prizm is one of those brands that can yield big-money cardboard in both its hobby and retail formats if you land the right names on the right color of parallels. This box? Probably much closer to an average one with its biggest highlight probably being a Disco RC parallel of a guy who has had some decent moments for the Browns but isn't a big name. (So maybe the Dak insert?) These boxes deliver nearly identical to how they did last year and I liked it then, though these don't deliver as much as other brands such as Donruss or Score. It definitely felt like it needed more. There is an autograph or jersey card in every box, a plus here, though this one was of a guy who was a second-round pick who's out for the year after injury. If you like this brand and want to chase no matter what the price, then go hobby or even FOTL -- there's plenty to find in those boxes. Blasters here, based on the two I've ripped (see the next one in Buzz 12 in 12 later this month), there's potential ... but they can run a little less flashy at times.

Product Grade: A-
