What's Buzz-worthy: This has been a relative go-to for Buzz in the past (though it's not always been that cheap of a box) and when I saw them at The National I figured I'd dig in today. Why? You can land solid autographs and memorabilia from some big-name prospects without having to pay a big prospecting premium like you will with older Bowman boxes. If you just want autographs from the likes of Corey Seager, Kris Bryant, Dansby Swanson, Hunter Greene and a number of other young MLB stars on officially licensed non-MLB cardboard, then this is one to consider. This box delivered very well on rarities but didn't include any of the more-impressive names or any Silhouette jumbos or patch cards. They can easily be in here and I've seen boxes deliver more than just four hits, too. This one still grades strong to me because of the rarer cards but I've definitely seen better boxes. It's one that I don't hesitate to rip if it presents itself in-person. It's one to rip if you haven't as this one's focused on prospector-popular players moreso than historical greats from the rich USA Baseball history.

Product Grade: A
Box Grade: B+ (some rarer cards but not big names in this box)
Fun Grade: B+
