What's Buzz-worthy: This brand is a loaded one but there seems to be plenty of it available, too, so I figured I'd revisit it in a way that delivers plenty of base and a little bit of everything with a shot at hits, too, via a sealed sleeve of hanger boxes. I grabbed this one for a tad cheaper than original price of $80 and it delivered Acuña Rookie Cards in both the first and the last packs as well as all of the other key RCs. The last time I ripped one of these, I found an auto but this one was hitless. To make up for it, I found a Chrome Refractor (not a super-easy pull at one in 19 boxes) and some key names among the inserts. Nothing big-money here but there are cards that are possible ... if you land that Refractor for Soto, Ohtani, Acuña or others you're winning. Same for Mini parallels or other variations that can all be found here, just not easily. This is a brand, along with Topps Update, that is one to rip and stockpile key cards now since the boxes can be found and the good names and RCs are plentiful. There will come a day where both brands won't be as easily found and then interest will focus on singles and rarities even more than now. Hobby is easily your No. 1 bet to do chasing here -- hit that link -- but these packs are meaty and have something in every one. Blasters might have more flash at times but I think hangers (bought as a sealed tray) might be overlooked.
