What's Buzz-worthy: This is my first time ripping into these new Mega Boxes that have people filling carts and leaving none for the kids (Don't believe me? Hit the forums.) if they find them in Target stores. I managed a handful of these and this first one I ripped actually included an extra basic Bowman pack. I didn't even notice until I got to my second box and thought I had been shorted. Ultimately, the extra pack didn't mean much here but my two Mega Box Chrome packs (with their "mojo" texture) yielded a pair of Austin Riley cards and an insert. That was a fun start for me -- I'm late to that party but I'll take it as he's had a good first week in The Show with four homers. Other names here weren't bad, either, but we all know people are ripping here for the Chromes. Look for my other Mega Boxes in Buzz Breaks here in the coming days.

Product Grade: A-
Box Grade: A- (an extra pack ... and Riley hits a hot spot for me right now)
Fun Grade: A-
