What's Buzz-worthy: Rewind to three past blasters here and I'm pretty sure the run of basic Chronicles cards are nearly 100-percent identical to this one. Rewind to my previous and about half of the subset cards (non-basic Chronicles) are the same as last time. As Dusty Rhodes would say, this one was "funky like a monkey" though all five of my blasters picked up at a cheaper price at the link above. ... 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+ (some better finds here but not one bigger card really)
Fun Grade: A- (variety for the win ... always)
