What's Buzz-worthy: Want a bargain-priced break (in the big sale) with some big potential? It's arguably this one as you get a pair of autographed cards in every box and, while there's a deep prospecting checklist, there are some truly big names in this release, too. Among them? Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Austin Riley, Ozzie Albies, Aaron Judge, Andrew Benintendi, Dansby Swanson, Brendan McKay, Yoan Moncada, Christian Pache, Alex Bregman, Mike Soroka, Corey Seager, Rafael Devers, Victor Robles, Kyle Schwarber, Corey Ray, Trea Turner, Matt Chapman, Russell Wilson, Paul Molitor, Kyle Tucker, Walker Buehler and Gleyber Torres to name a few. Did all of them make their way into blasters? No way to know other than rip -- but I'd guess that some of these names are very possible. Typically I've landed a USA Baseball auto in them -- though not in all. ... This release is unique in that it showcases fully licensed college logos and uniforms. The base set cards I landed here weren't the greatest -- and that Mike Schmidt cards shows the limits of vintage college photography -- but I still like this one's design for those players who have a full college package there. In other instances, the ticket box can feel a little empty -- but the checklist here is not. Both of my autos are of players still deep in the minors and still playing but there's no doubt that there's still good potential in these boxes. Had my Austin Smith been an Austin Riley? A+ box.
