What's Buzz-worthy: It's been a while since we busted one of these, but with the All-Star Game coming up this seemed like a good break as it's absolutely loaded with all kinds of stars. ... As said before on these, this year's blaster boxes for Donruss don't have a guaranteed hit in them every single time like last year, but you'll find a boatload of inserts and variations -- they don't have to be rare to be fun or collectable -- no matter which format you choose. (Ironically, you'll also find more cards in these hangers vs. the 56 in the blasters.) This new Donruss design is joined by a subset of 1984 cards as well as the typical somewhat short-printed Rated Rookies and Diamond Kings. Rounding things out is a selection of cards showing multiple players in the style of late 1980s and early 1990s Fleer's "Superstar Specials."
