What's Buzz-worthy: I haven't done as many HHN blasters as I have in past years, but that's not because they haven't delivered -- they just haven't been as quick to deliver beyond a loaded Rookie Card crop. This one delivered in the form of a hot box that included a bonus Purple Refractor in every pack and had two top rookies as well as a top veteran among them. This isn't the flashiest of brands -- just like 1970 Topps isn't the flashiest of designs -- but the names are there. The Alonso cards are perhaps the biggest right now (I'm probably grading the Purple as it's very clean) but the overall feel here wasn't bad and it's still top-able.
