What's Buzz-worthy: These have not been reloaded at retail in Buzz's territory, so they may not be a plentiful run -- adding to their potential if you ask me. ... As said previously here, the box notes two autographs and game-worn memorabilia cards per box -- but every single one I've ripped has had three. This one once again included hits from very young players in the USA program, while Wright was the fifth pick in last year's MLB Draft after his Vanderbilt career. ... The base set here includes a mix of past and recent USA players so you have the likes of Alex Rodriguez and Mark McGwire, guys drafted last year, guys to be drafted this year and then guys who'll possibly get the call in the future. Based on the tiny type on the bottom of the box, everything is potentially in play here -- autos from across the spectrum with parallels, patch cards, button cards, laundry tags and more. Hobby boxes include five packs and a hit in every single one of them as well as a parallel every time. Hobby is likely your safest bet for the biggest pulls, but these deliver very well for the price, considering that they include more than what was planned.
