What's Buzz-worthy: Want a bargain-priced break with some up-side and the possibility of some deluxe patch cards and autos from young major-leaguers? You might take a look at USA Baseball stuff. This box was cheap and it delivered big on the hits front with ink from Andrew Vaughn and Jack Flaherty. Together, those two cards pay for the box or even come out ahead, making the rest gravy. The base set and inserts are the same every time except for the Select Prizms and then you get the same volume of hits but with cards from all three squads. All notables you see in the gallery have autos and mem possible here and there's safety in numbers so even if you don't get a great box it's still a decent rip for a collector ... and it can deliver big, too. ... As I noted in a past break, the base set here is crisply produced with some stronger photos than other USA sets. Some of the youngest players here are still in college, too, so you have some longer-term prospecting potential atop guys in the minors. If you strike out at the retail aisle or can't bargain break other stuff ... check out the USA Baseball options . They can surprise.

Product Grade: A-
Box Grade: A (Vaughn and Flaherty ink = win)
Fun Grade: B+ (it's a set with some hits ... so it's a fast rip)
