What’s Buzz-worthy: This box seems like a bit of an anomaly as it didn’t include any short-prints or the seemingly obligatory hit. (There’s no noted guarantee but I swear a hit per box is the norm based on ripping these in the past … at least I’m 95 percent sure.) This particular box was quite different than another one busted here but the names found in this release — most of them with ink — can be very solid. All those base card notables above? Their autographs can be found here. The Ring Kings cards? Also found as autographs and memorabilia — cards that were huge at the time of the release. This one was a bummer on this Buzz 12 in 12 marathon day, but this is a box that’s not all that easily found these days — so I will rip more when I can.
Product Grade: A
Box Grade: C+ (going hitless hurts … but still some good names)
Fun Grade: C+ (hitless hurts)
