What's Buzz-worthy: The Heritage 25 card is one in nine packs here but the rest of this one was pretty standard or even rough in some spots, giving this one an average feel in my book. Simple as that. It's not as rough as some past years -- at least there are parallels to add to the mix -- but this one didn't deliver anything big. ... This re-visitation of the 1976 Topps set -- a crisper and cleaner version of a set that, to me, evokes 1970s Ford Motor Company stylings ... an industrial, but crisp feel a la an old LTD car or something but not quite as clean and sporty as a Mustang. Gone are the weird colors and that garish font of 1975 with those traded in for some quirky cartoons on the fronts that are perhaps the only thing that's not clean and relatively timeless here -- but they do immediately draw it back to the original. Gone are most of the issues that made last year's Heritage rough -- the backs are readable here, the collation seemed clean and no overwhelming issues from printing and packaging other than maybe some rough edges ... but even that wasn't as tough as the last few years. ... I'll still rip more of this one this year than I did last year that's for sure.

Product Grade: A- (crisper and cleaner than last year's H with more Chrome/variety added)
Box Grade: C+ (average break here with one card that's a smidge rarer)
Fun Grade: C+ (hangers seem to be much stronger than past years -- but still can be hit and miss)
