What's Buzz-worthy: I revisited this one with my sights set some Acuña and actually landed a pretty good one -- and so much more here. None of it will break the bank, but then again neither did the price of the box -- and that's a reason why I find this an enjoyable break with some potential with key names and an auto in every box. The Red & Yellow cards are only found in this Walmart version of the Mega Box. How do you know you have a variation if it's not obvious? Check the backs and look for black baseballs instead of white ones. See other Optic breaks here on The Buzz for more of my past thoughts. (Translation: It's Friday and my afternoon caffeine isn't working that well right now.)
