What's Buzz-worthy: This one probably isn't all that striking right now since it's not some auto-Relic with a piece of a sock, patch, logo, letter or some other deluxe kind of find, but this one is still something that's one in 20 boxes -- yes, boxes -- according to the odds and that's tougher than one per case. Vaughn was a pretty solid college player and had a decent rookie season, too, so this isn't a bad find at all -- it's just not a monster kind of pull that people often expect with this one. Could this card be a solid one I the future? Yep. The rest of the box here was a little lean, beyond a Bichette appearance (nice to me, but perhaps not to many out there value-wise) so that's why it didn't get a bigger grade from me. The parallels look good with the color but the base cards feel a little simplified with more of a geometric style vs. the color splashes of past years. I think I'd like this one more if it was a two-hit or even a two-pack box with perhaps a slightly smaller but varied mix to get a little different looks here instead of making it a one-hit, hit-or-miss scenario. All in all, it feels about right for an Inception release.

Product Grade: B+
Box Grade: B+
Fun Grade: B (one-hit, one-pack boxes ... can be hit and miss)
