What's Buzz-worthy: I did another of these as the price is right at retail and the potential is there with the power of Chrome and Chrome color behind it. How well will a box be? We'll find out at NBA Draft time in the coming years. ... I'll be the first to tell you I don't know a lot about the players in this pro league but that's the magic of it -- these are guys who will be eligible in future NBA Drafts for the next year or two. (Click here to learn more about how the league works.) This box delivered OK with the Aqua one in 35 packs -- and I'll let you chew on the rest in the gallery. It's likely I'll rip more -- and there's an array of releases coming for the league as Topps is a player in the basketball market again with this one. Long-term, there seems like really good potential here if you buy low (this was a Walmart SRP find) and I'll take that risk once or twice vs. boxes that in some cases will cost twice these or more. My first blaster over-delivered big-time but my two since haven't been as strong but I think these will over-deliver pretty well at times.
