What's Buzz-worthy: My finale for these from the bargain bin (for now as they have dried up some) was heavy on the rookies but missing the arguable best two ... while coughing up almost 10 more RCs than my previous box. The rest? Super-lean and, well, not good but a couple of rookies get this one to barely an A ... and that's probably just me being nice in the here and now. In the longer term, though, the RCs here could be always of note. ... HHN is one that has such a loaded set that it's perhaps harder to get a truly bad box on the RC front but if I liked the 1973 design more, this set might have landed an A+ grade overall. As a collector, this is the kind of release we need to see more of -- a lot to chase -- but without a price that forces one to rip and flip since it's so expensive. It's a better experience with hobby boxes for the price and that sale price is good right now -- and there's a guaranteed hit and more along with a near-set in every box. I say rip those until they rise up or dry up and then snack on these blasters or the megas later as long as they are reasonably priced.

Product Grade: A
Box Grade: A-
