What's Buzz-worthy: This pack feels like a slight miss with most of my star power being former players with the Embiid and Durant appearances being OK but nothing big on the active-player front. A couple of my past packs here included rookie variations but nothing like that this time ... though I had some RC presence among my parallels and that's why I've sampled this one once again. These are all about the big chase -- and when you land a big you'll know it -- but not this time. ... If I regularly ripped NBA stuff, I'd probably do more of this as long as they are cheaper in price and other options out in the retail wild were a bit mild. 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. Just not this time ... just like last time.

Product Grade: A
Pack Grade: B (average feel at first glance with most star power being retirees ... needed a bigger new find to get to an A out of me)
Fun Grade: B-
