What's Buzz-worthy: Like the NBA version, I was on the fence about digging in here -- for a few reasons -- but unlike the other I only opted for a single box of this one ... and it was lean. Prizm is always a larger set -- this one 300 base cards and then 100 more cards, the RCs, that are perhaps slightly short-printed based on my ripping experience but not noted that way on packaging. These boxes are super lean with the inclusions panel among the briefest I've seen with parallels including Silver, Red, Blue, Disco and Press Proofs for base and rookies. The only other finds? Fireworks, Prizm Break, Emergent, Hype, Portals, Prizmatic ... without parallels. This box? Just one. Prizm has never been the friendliest break with the set size but one insert is too lean for my taste. The only hits here? Premier Jerseys and Rookie Gear. Beyond that? The only other chase is cardboard from the rookie variations set as Silver Prizms. For me, for my tastes, this one was average at best and I'm not sure I landed much of interest for me so it's probably a one and done ... but there is a lot to chase here and with some luck you might land a key rookie or star in a key spot. Ripping hobby is your best bet for sure.

Product Grade: B+
Box Grade: C (parallels with some notables but rest was painfully lean here)
Fun Grade: C
