What's Buzz-worthy: What happens when there are no blaster boxes on the shelf at retail? You clear the peg of the packs -- and this sequence of five jumbo packs from one store delivered pretty well on both the Shohei Ohtani front (two in five packs), a number of stars making two appearances and a couple of odds-blasting parallel finds. The odds on that Purple? One in 86 packs. The odds on that Blue? One in 43 packs. These baggies of cards aren't my favorite format because of all the room the cards have in the packs -- that can create disappointing corners quite easily -- but this run delivered pretty well. They're not alone -- stay tuned for more Bowman breaks here soon.
