What's Buzz-worthy:  While my last box of this one wasn't a flashy one, it was an A+ box thanks to two cards. This box? I'm struggling to see what might make it anything more than average and I'm not sure it's there beyond maybe the Cody Bellinger parallel. It happens ... even to Buzz (sorry, conspiracy theorists ... I pick good and bad ones). I might try one more if it presents itself to me but a second one like this might make me go back to the blaster route as the X-fractor stock has never been one of my favorites and it's not that big of a draw for me here. ... As said last time, the design here, something I've mentioned previously this year, isn't one of my favorites (mostly because of the flipped name) but there are touches here that seem to be made for Chrome, especially when you land a colored Refractor. With this year's rookie crop and guaranteed ink in hobby boxes, though, that is a stronger way to go.
