What's Buzz-worthy: No, this isn't one I've had stashed away since last year -- it's actually a box I found in a retail bargain bin this week and I think it's a result of a retail chain changing its distributor. (Could be wrong, but that's my hunch -- and some boxes we haven't seen in bins recently are popping up ... but in low volume.) This one is all about its key Rookie Cards and this box delivered one of the big names in Juan Soto there -- and a Shohei Ohtani among the inserts. Heritage can deliver big in both blasters and hobby boxes but not every time, so your best bet to grab basically the whole set at once would be to break a hobby box -- you'll also get a guaranteed hit there -- and the odds of pulling some exotic stuff (at least for Heritage) are easier there, too. The good news right now if you don't want to do a pricier hobby box? Blasters are on sale (for now) at the link above, too.

Product Grade: A+
Box Grade: B+ (thanks to the key rookie presence)
Fun Grade: B
