What's Buzz-worthy: How about that parallel pull? That's a tough one of a popular newcomer. Atop that, I landed some solid names among the base cards and the strong insert presence here makes this a run rip with the medallion cards a cherry on top. The RCs here could have been stronger but aren't awful and the Home Run Challenge and Turkey Red Chrome cards aren't even in every box. Want more thoughts on this one and to see even more? Check out my initial hobby box break of the year right here. Plus you can check out my other hobby box from earlier today ... it wasn't bad, either.
