(* -- names aren't yet formally revealed for the various parallel colors/textures here, so it's all slightly mysterious at the moment ... I went with familiar names for textures used with other releases)

 Autographs: None this time ... but they are found one per five-pack box of this one so stay tuned.

 

What's Buzz-worthy: During my early scan of the checklist this was the first name I had to stop and check -- I didn't recognize it, but approved when I saw her very first role over on IMDb -- young Jenny Curran in Forrest Gump. While that could have landed her in a 1990s pack, she's had almost 30 roles since with appearances in The Virgin Suicides, Criminal Minds, Masters Of Sex, The Purge and as Judith Myers in Halloween (2007). My movie/TV watching in recent years ain't what it used to be, but a first card from a name in a big 1990s movie with some tangential school ties to my collection -- Gump author Winston Groom went to my school and I got the autograph long ago -- this find works for me. I'd track down an auto version but so far the prices on ink here are very steep ... I could land her auto on a photo and then have enough money left over to buy a box of this at its original price vs. some of the asking prices so far. We'll see if they dip with time ... with all being 1/1s of varying colors, they might sell for more than one might think. Also bolstering interest here beyond Gump would be the Halloween and other horror genre films, of course. ... As I noted last time, I had a superb heater of a streak opening boxes of the preview edition for this set -- a number of 1/1 finds in several packs (check the archives) -- so when this all-1/1 edition was recently announced I pounced on a couple of boxes. Why? I liked it the first time ... and this time nothing but 1/1 card in a box with a 1/1 auto, too, was a no-brainer. Since everything is unique, I figured I'd turn my boxes into separate breaks -- that means more of these to come after this -- perhaps daily for my first run but we'll see how soon I rip through every pack.

Product Grade: A
Pack Grade:
A- (I believe these are her first card appearances)
Fun Grade: B+ (just one card so there can be misses)
