What's Buzz-worthy: These two repacks have started to arrive at retail chains and the curiosity got me. Football seemed like a better deal with five packs but the bonus cards didn't seem as impressive (and that hobby pack in this one was a real dud), while the baseball packs were interesting but didn't wow that much, either -- though they could with some luck from the Prizm rainbow. This one gave my my first in-person look at the Topps On Demand cards with a card of a Hall of Famer (they're cleanly printed and feel pretty good) and there's potential there if the bigger stars from that set can be found in these. Overall, these repacks are an option on the cheap if your retail aisle is one that doesn't have a lot to choose from right now. With some luck, these could deliver pretty well for the price compared to some of the standard packs on the market right now at retail. These aren't the flashiest option -- nor do they include as much as some other repacks you may find alongside them -- but they're definitely not the weakest repacks I've seen at retail. For the price, they're worth the look.
Product Grade: B+ for both (low price with some potential)
Pack Grade: C for football, B for baseball
Fun Grade: B
