What's Buzz-worthy: The new year of this one will be arriving any time now, so I figured this was worth a look after finding a couple of these in a bargain bin not long ago. This box's inserts and hit were average at best but the box was bailed out with the appearance of Rookie Cards for Aaron Judge, Alex Bregman, Dansby Swanson, Andrew Benintendi and Yoan Moncada, which helped the box. These are simple cards -- snowflakes applied to the basic Topps flagship design -- and this set includes notables from all three Topps flagship releases (Series 1, Series 2 and Topps Update) to help amp up the checklist. There's some decent ink possible, too. Click here to view the final checklist for the release. There is a hit in every box with some decent potential if you haven't found them via the singles route. You can still track one of these down at the link above if you don't find it hunting in the wild. You'll see one of this year's ripped here soon.
