What's Buzz-worthy: Check out those names in the inserts ... seven of the nine cards with the letter J in their first name. Talk about odd. Also odd compared to my other boxes was the RC volume here. Comparatively, it was a bit crazier with five standard and then parallels while my last one had just one. My base veterans were pretty lean -- that will happen with a big set and a small box -- but the Tatum appearances are nice-looking cards and there were some other key names here and there that make this one OK but not a slam dunk like my first, which included a Victor Wembanyama Green. ... This one is still reloading at retail and it's still worth it with key rookies and colors only found here. It's a no-brainer of you're a basketball fan and worth the look if you rip and flip, too, though not every box will be big in this format. Among the parallels here are the three you see here along with Glitter, Red Seismic, Blue Seismic and Green Pulsar -- the last three on the numbered side -- for all 300 base cards. Do the quick math and it's not easy to land the exclusives here so that should add some early value, though plenty is getting ripped.

Product Grade: A
Box Grade: B+
Fun Grade: B (small boxes can be very hit and miss)
