What's Buzz-worthy: This one was a bit of a default go-to for me last year with the strong crop of rookies and veterans with new teams but after opening a pair of these and a mega -- and then looking at the odds -- the mega box is the best choice for a price that's not substantially higher. One thing that might not work for even that better format? Hits are not guaranteed there this time -- I landed a Chrome card -- but this format? It doesn't include them at all. A minor packaging improvement was made for this one this time -- last year a lot of packs bounced against the top of the tin -- but even with a piece of cardboard wrapped over the top of the pack inside the tin I still received a lot of cards with edge/corner/surface issues here. If you're inclined to grade at all, that also means open the mega box. These are the home to Holiday Lights parallels and I landed a Witt Ornament (surface damage) that's a smidge rarer find. Variations tend to flow well in all formats and there are other newer parallels and variations in play, too, but the Chrome development is one that could add potential but I'd rather simply have a type of hit to offer up something more ands some variety in the bigger formats. I'll offer more thoughts in my later breaks of this.

Product Grade: B 
Box Grade: B (packaging improvements were made but still received a lot of cards with edge/corner/surface issues)
Fun Grade: B
