What's Buzz-worthy: This one is relatively simple -- a 100-card set with each version having three tiers (different primary images on each with a subtle labeling change --  and then four parallels of each (Black, Blue, Red, Gold) and then hits. There are framed autos, framed Relic autos and framed Relics for MLB legends. Check out the odds and you'll see that most found here will be framed autos that also have their own rainbow of parallels. This one's simplicity is only complicated in being able to figure out the Black parallels -- look at the side stripe -- otherwise I could see how this one has some appeal because of its simplicity and lower price allowing for a collector to chase ink. This brand isn't a highlight-reel one for me personally from the past but its revival has lasted three years so there is clearly some interest with this one. The checklist also is helped by legends from the past while also packing some notable rookies from this year, which is a good combo. The autos include Shohei Ohtani, Acuña, Trout, Judge, Harper, Kris Bryant, Nolan Ryan and a number of other notable young and old players. With some luck, you might win big considering the box price.
