What's Buzz-worthy: There's not a whole lot of flashy in this box, but it's one that delivered pretty well among the names on minis and inserts -- and that's arguably the area that matters most here other than non-baseball personalities. This box included more RCs than I got last time, but that one included Pete Alonso so this one wasn't quite as good on that front. This box was more on the no-frills side but this is a brand that can deliver pretty good pop with some luck in retail. This wasn't that time but this is a box that shows some of the possibilities when you rip into this nod to the tobacco cards of the late-1800s. Hit that link up top for hobby boxes that guarantee you a combo of three hits and plenty more -- that's the safest way to go that offers up the most fun. There are some big cards to be found in this one.
Product Grade: A
Box Grade: B
Fun Grade: B
