What's Buzz-worthy: I picked this one up since it's seemingly always delivered for me -- just look at those names among the base cards and realize that most of them, if not all, have autographs and memorabilia cards here. This time? Pretty much an average box hits-wise and the only thing that got it a B in my mind was the rare Crusade insert -- I've not pulled one of those before -- but otherwise this one was rough. It's probably my worst box I've pulled of this as ink from all those guys possible. I've pulled Corey Seager and even Kris Bryant patch ink here and a number of impressive patches. None this time. The version of this release before this one was loaded with past names as well as prospects -- with premium card types, too -- while this one is more focused on prospects. For the box price, the potential here is very good and very possible -- it just didn't happen this time.

Product Grade: A
Box Grade: B (one rare card but not a lot of big names in this box where it matters most)
Fun Grade: B
