What's Buzz-worthy: With new Optic on the way, last year's Optic has started to hit the retail bargain bin, which is precisely where Buzz found this one. This box delivered pretty well with the rookie and inserts, though there's no real "big money" card in this box. Since it was from the bargain bin, though, what this one yielded is a win overall -- at least from the collecting perspective. There are autos potentially found in these boxes, so they're worth the look if you don't see other options for your collecting dollars. You can find Aaron Judge and Cody Bellinger cards in these as well as cards for other rookies of note and plenty of stars from the past and present among the base cards and inserts. It can present some fun breaks.
