What's Buzz-worthy: At first rip, this one didn't really impress this casual NBA ripper -- I can't collect it all these days -- but the trio of Kevin Durant cards along with a decent crop of rookies and color among those, too. Are there any cards here that pay for the pack on their own? Maybe -- at least at the discounted price I found this at -- but overall there was enough here to get this one to an A-grade out of me. I could have perhaps gone higher. ... Of course, with plenty opened in the time since this one's arrival, the dollar-value here on basics -- even for stars -- isn't as high, but I didn't mind this one as a cheaper pack pick-up awhile back where I've had it in reserve for a day like today. If I routinely ripped NBA stuff, I'd probably do more of this as long as they are cheaper in price. Why? There's always a chance that a key name on a rare card could be in there and in a brand like this a good card with a good name can command good attention. There are also hits possible.

Product Grade: A
