What's Buzz-worthy: This brand is a loaded one on the Rookie Card front and it's even more stacked when you look at its roster of variations, autographs and other inserts that give us an all-encompassing look at things but with a focus on the one thing that will matter the most down the line -- rookies. This box included the big names and it included a good variety of inserts though I will admit I wanted more. There are drawbacks to the 1970 Topps design but this one has enough young names and simple cards that it works for me here -- the first series felt dry at times unless you landed a star SP. This time the key names are not among the SPs and this is a small set that you can almost build out of a single hobby box. There are other things we didn't pull here but this one didn't feel like a lacking box.
