(* -- Technically this set is a not a parallel as they are packed out in same volumes as the orange set in the packs, but since Panini noted these among "randomly inserted cards" on packaging I'll list it as a parallel. It's not.)

Autographs/Memorabilia: None in this release.

What's Buzz-worthy: My second one of these wasn't quite as strong on the current star front but the rookies arrived pretty well here with Daniels and Harrison as well as others. Sure, this isn't some massive money-maker release but it's one where the RCs (though they're simple) will always have some demand ... so that's why they're good to find. ... As noted last time, this one is simple -- 300 veteran cards and 50 rookies on Rising Stars cards -- with a orange (pumpkin) version and a green (bats) version both packed out basically equally in these via three-card packs. (You should use scissors to open here a simply pulling on the wrapper can damage cards.) These are as simple as it gets -- no gloss, no foil -- and stock that's as thin as it gets, too. This one has a deep checklist of past and present stars with some players on defense and the lines who might not have a lot of past cards as well as newcomers. The rookies are all mugshots with some having NFL uni collars (and packaging notes 49 players but forum users have found 50) and it's all got the 1990-1991 Score mash-up feel with Halloween touches. (If you didn't guess by the name or the packaging, this one is intended to be a Trick-or-Treat reward alternative to candy and bags are around $20.) ... Do the math and you're looking at about six boxes to build any one set (barring collation tricks) but that could -- could -- make for treats with singles at times when people opt to not bother opening and just buy their obscure (or star) players outright. ... The only chase here are Trick Or Treat parallels that are limited to only 99 serial-numbered copies per card -- so grab those if you like the player ... they could be tougher finds over time when a lot of these end up in kids' (non-collectors) hands.

Product Grade: A- (for what it is, this is super-simple and clean)
Box Grade: A- (good mix but still a lot of notables I didn't find)
Fun Grade: B+ (super simple stuff here)
