What’s Buzz-worthy: These boxes guarantee a hit as well as four acetate rookies and this box delivered pretty well on that front as well as with the inserts — definitely an Okafor box. … The design here is super simple with a full-bleed photo with a simple foil overlay. The backs have a super-simple and effective infographic back with just basics displayed with a By The Numbers approach. It’s so simple that it’s solid — even found on the memorabilia card — and it’s one approach this collector wishes was used more. The player selection in the basic set was strong in this box, too. Also a plus? There is potential for autographs and other memorabilia atop of those acetates, which are arguably the biggest draw. These might be a fun one to rip for an NBA collector.
