Autographs/Memorabilia: None

What's Buzz-worthy: My last break of this one was as good as it gets with A-lister ink and even more color, so this one is closer to the norm, though it might be under-delivering as it actually included one fewer parallels this time, too. So it was a fine box for the sale price (hit that link up top) but would have been rougher at its typical price. ... 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 Green (one in 15 packs), Black (one in 73 packs), Red Wave (one in 145) 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 each time -- 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, Roman 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:
B+ (good names even in color but perhaps not one bigger card to get to an A)
Fun Grade: B (might be an under-delivering box actually vs. others I have opened)
