What's Buzz-worthy: Lyons as a Tiger in a blaster? Oh my. If it wasn't for some claw mark on the back surface of that card, well, that's a monster ... and it still could be depending on demand. Tiger is one of the rare finds in retail and while she's been out hurt a bit too much she was a top name among the rookies back when this one arrived. It would have been a monster blaster at arrival and it's still a strong one -- an A+ in my book -- with that and some other inclusions. What made it even better here? This rip was at a discounted price. ... I've ripped a bunch of this one because it's cheaper and it's one with potential with some luck -- and everything here is an insert card every time, too. Why open it? Ink and numbered cards are found often here -- a few times per case -- while hobby or other formats are your way to go if you can swing the price ... one stronger but potentially riskier option is at the link above. I like the look of these a lot more than the standard Optichrome look. For more thoughts check out my past breaks ... I've opened too many and I'm still not done as long as they exist. This box shows why with a mix of tiers, plenty of parallels and shots at tougher finds all in one spot.

Product Grade: A (strong photos this time along with plenty of past and present options and a ton of color)
Box Grade:
A+ (Lyons Tiger on a secondary tier is strong find)
Fun Grade: A-
