Final Grade - 22.5/25 (90%)
These packs are a blast to open as you know something pretty good is in each one. There are only a few base cards as it's mostly hits and there is the possibility of some really good hits. They aren't cheap though and that makes it more of a one time buy for me with the exception of a pack here and there.

Great review and nice cards, Craig!

I've wanted to try a box of this, but having seen a couple of breaks, it reminds me too much of 07-08 SP Game Used, with which I have had bad luck with.

Nice review! I really like the design on those autograph cards.

the noah and chalder look really cool... looks like the auto is on plastic over top the jersey?

the horford and durant is a nice card. can't say i really like the base design, especially if all are white. it looks rather dull to me.

Molly, yes, both sides are pretty much plastic on the outside. The GU is sealed in between and the part where the players face is in B&W is clear acetate. Nice design and a sturdy card too. Don't have to worry about bending the corner when you are putting it in a toploader. ;)
