What's Buzz-worthy: This high school All-Star event spawned a deep checklist of base cards a handful of rarer inserts and autographs with announced print runs or numbering and plenty of interesting collectable potential. Although this box is a few years old, there are guys in here who have not yet completed their college careers along with some guys who are minor-league players already. Perhaps the most-notable card in this box was an auto of strikeout machine Michael Kopech, who had 51 strikeouts in his first 35 innings for the Double-A Birmingham Barons this season. He was part of the Chris Sale trade along with Yoan Moncada. The autos here appear to all be stickers but they're not a bad way to take on a collecting challenge that's affordable and deep enough you can take a few boxes to work on it without breaking the bank.
