What's Buzz-worthy: At a glance, this probably looks like a kind of basic box -- and it is in this format -- but this blaster delivered very well for such a small batch of packs. The Green parallel here? One in 217 packs. The Griffey SP? A good find as the SPs are just one per blaster. Throw in a Riley among the parallels only found here and a second Griffey as well as an appearance by Vladdy and it's a decent box. Value-wise, I'm not sure -- but I'm not buying to sell here unless I land something rare on a key rookie. ... As said last time, this Walmart-exclusive premium brand has plenty of star power from the past and present and there's a pretty good chunk of inserts, too. ... I wasn't big on last year's artwork based on teasers but was pleasantly surprised once I ripped into a box. This one? It's got good design and gloss/foil touches -- the frames -- but not as many of the art pieces jumped out at me from these players. My favorites? The Hall of Fame Gallery paintings and the Heritage inserts, which use the 1965 Topps design -- a favorite of mine from the past.
