What's Buzz-worthy: This is my second one of these that I recently ripped and promised this one here today ... so here it is despite any big, big fireworks beyond some appearances by Mickey Moniak and Carlos Rodon -- big-leaguers who definitely were higher-profile guys on cards during the decade since this one arrived. They're not alone as MLB players here -- there are a few -- but the best ones I could land eluded me in this one, which did include an extra hit this time just like last time. I landed a couple of rarer but not all that thrilling mem cards and the Moniak auto is from a set that's not a regular find. The rest was the norm. It's not the richest crop of USA Baseball years but a solid card of a good name could/should pay for a box here at current prices. There's one name here -- just 25 autos total -- who could easily pay for a case (or two) -- but I'll let that linger out there as I eye more boxes of this one at some point soon ... if they're still around.

Product Grade: A-
Box Grade: B+
Fun Grade: B+ (it's a set with some hits ... so it's a fast rip)
