What's Buzz-worthy: Another blaster, another case-level rarity? Yep, but unfortunately it's a card of a younger entertaining name who's no longer in the WWE and likely done in the ring, too. It happens ... but I'll still take it. An Elephant parallel is among the tougher retail finds, so there will always be some demand here and it's a pretty big set. Overall, this box was strong with a mix of past and present names -- more tier finds here than the typical box and even an extra card -- and then some good names in there in some of those spots. ... I've ripped a lot of this one as long as 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.

Product Grade: A (strong photos this time along with plenty of past and present options and a ton of color)
Box Grade: A (a rarer find and then a lot of solid names and a few from the rarer tiers)
Fun Grade: A-
