Autographs/Memorabilia: None

What's Buzz-worthy: After three boxes with nearly identical runs of Chronicles base (subset) cards, this one coughed up some variety and actually some names I don't remember in any of my past breaks. (And I've done a few.), Meanwhile, I'm pretty sure that Aliyah Black card has popped up in all of my boxes recently. All this continues to make me think this one had some pack-out/collation dilemmas along the way ... maybe I'll at some point find some mega-loaded autograph or parallels box? (Only a chance if I keep ripping ... we'll see.) ... This one was once again not a bad mix of past and present names with just enough good names popping in some spots to keep it above average for a collector but if you're ripping for the flip then hobby is your only way to go here unless you're feeling lucky. (Ink is possible and numbered parallels are just as elusive ... unless you find a few in the same box. That did happen to me ... poke around for past breaks and more thoughts on this one.)

Product Grade: A in its concept ... B with all of the production/collation issues 
Box Grade: B
Fun Grade: A- (variety for the win ... even when it's a dry box)
