What's Buzz-worthy: My first pack of this one delivered on the rarer side but was dry on Rookie Cards, while this one delivers better on that RC front and includes some top stars this time with a parallel insert of a Hall of Famer taking the place of my rarest card in that previous break. Is there one truly huge card here? Probably not -- but the Arozarena could be a strong one over time if he builds upon his 2020 campaign and postseason. That said, this one gets an A from me because it's got a little more meat to it compared to my first. As I mentioned last time, you get just 30 base cards from a 1,000-card set here -- a mix of Series 1, Series 2 and Update -- and that makes pulling any one card pretty tough from a single pack. That's a move that can make for some dry runs but also should help values here a little. These were released under the 2020 Topps On Demand lineup -- set No. 23 for the year -- and 13,401 packs were ordered and made, which is  up from 9,700 last year. Some rough math would indicate there are around 400 copies per base card here, which is a pretty good number. If you land a top RC or a parallel for one of those guys or a top star, these can be a huge win. And even a box like this one might surprise over time if you're a seller aiming for certain prices -- they will dry up across the board, especially for the best stuff ... but also there are so many common names that people might not try to sell, making them scarce in terms of availability. Maybe not right now but over time ... there could be surprises in this one and past years' boxes. (Check out the link up top.) There are also autographs to be found, too.

Product Grade: A
Box Grade: A (Arozarena and some top stars get this one an A)
Fun Grade: B (single pack and big checklist can mean lean rips)
