What's Buzz-worthy: I didn't land anything dramatically different than what I did in my first box but I got nearly double the RCs this time vs. last time (some uncomfortably off-center) and this time my rare find was a Blue parallel that's one in 74 packs and then I got an SP that's one in 28 ... it's not a flashy A box but two rarer pulls like that in one spot gets me there. The names I found this time were better, too, making me think that this could be a better representation of how this one might go -- but it also reinforces how a hobby box is your best route as you should find these things and more along with guaranteed hits. ... As I noted last time, I think the design of this one is improved this year and the use of photos within that colorful retro framework is done well, too. ... The stock here is still a little chippy but not as blatantly flawed like some past years that used dark colors often and showed off the flaws more than pretty much everything if you pay attention to conditions (particularly with grading). The odds are long at finding big stuff in retail but they are in there if you dare. I miss the days of a mini in every pack here but that ship has sailed -- this one isn't bad, though, compared to some recent years.

Product Grade: A- (slightly improved overall vs. last year with good inclusions across product)
Box Grade: A-
Fun Grade: B
