What’s Buzz-worthy: I opened the obvious hit pack first and the box was an immediate win with  Lonzo Ball memorabilia card but the box jumped to A+ level later with a Green Pulsar parallel of the reigning NBA MVP. It’s not going to be easy to top this in a blaster box but I’m sure there are other strong boxes out there money-wise this year with all those rookie parallels that can be found. These boxes are the exclusive home of the Green Pulsars, which are pretty rare, as well as the home of one hit every time — and some will include autographs. The mix of base cards here wasn’t that great but that simply doesn’t matter when it delivers like this one did. Look for another one of these sometime soon.

Product Grade: A

 A+
