What's Buzz-worthy: This brand is one where I've not opened it since close to arrival -- and it seems to have aged pretty well with who's in this one -- but this box wasn't on the flashiest part of the possibilities spectrum despite having some names you should recognize from young MLB players or prospects. A new baseball season got me looking here as names potentially gullible here include Bobby Dalbec, Keston Hiura, Jarred Kelenic, Brendan McKay, Royce Lewis, Alex Faedo, Hunter Greene, Seth Beer and others with varying degrees of hobby interest. You get six hits per box here -- this breakdown being close to as consistent with others I opened -- and there is a lot to potentially be found. Plus, with 14U squad members you have guys still in the amateur ranks here, too. Atop the players, you also get a lot of creative card types here with plenty of impressive patches and other possibilities to add value if you don't land a big, big name. I wouldn't over-pay too dramatically with boxes here but with six hits you could do OK with some luck or safety in a handful of boxes. Highlights here are probably the Evan White and Kyle Wright autos ... but you also could find alumni ink from Mark McGwire, Frank Thomas, Alex Bregman or Ken Griffey Jr. Those would be pretty sweet for the price.
