What's Buzz-worthy: This one was in a recent wave of Black November boxes and I took my own advice, grabbing four at an even steeper discount than last year when I did well in a few boxes. This time? I found an A-lister -- perhaps as big as it gets (acknowledged) right now -- auto parallel that's one in 166 packs and then the typical rundown of what I did last time in a good box, too, with a Red (one in 145 packs). Everything showed up here for parallels save for a Black Refractor or a Superfractor among a loaded run. In short, it's an A+ box. That auto likely pays for all four boxes I ripped ... maybe more. (I'll be grading it at some point as the stuff here so cleanly produced.) ... So, as I said in past breaks, what happens when you take a simple gaming approach -- stars, highlight moments and some other subsets -- and then Chrome it? The answer is in this A+ release. You get parallels in all the colors I found above along with Black (one in 73 packs) and Superfractors (one in 722 packs) and then autographs with a smaller rainbow of parallels -- Refractors, Orange, Red Wave and Supers -- and that's it. The only real drawback here? The price of a box with a lower volume of cards but no hit -- ink is one in three boxes but since this is gaming I don't hold that against this one. The visuals here are so clean -- busy but clean -- and the printing/cutting is near-perfect if not better than the standard stuff we see Chromed I still gave this one an A+ grade. ... The autograph checklist here is strong and it includes Alexa Bliss, Hulk Hogan, Sasha Banks, Reigns, John Cena, Bret Hart, Triple H, Rhea Ripley, Toni Storm, Mick Foley and more to go with all those energetic base cards and color parallels. This one is a winner with good up-side ... it's one where I want to do a case for sure.

Product Grade: A+ (simple but strong ... only drawback here is ink is not in every box)
Box Grade: A+ (strong everything here with an A-list name ... and an earlier sticker auto with more to his ink here)
Fun Grade: A+ (solid box ... especially at a discount)
