What's Buzz-worthy: There are 236 different stickers spread over 223 different card backs here, which is a tad confusing  (some cards have four sticker numbers) but overall this one feels improved. You'll also need to find an album for the four stickers only found there -- Ozzie Albies, Jose Altuve, Christian Yelich and Mookie Betts. The big difference here? They are now standard card size with card backs on a light stock. You won't find different backs with different stickers here (unlike when this was done in the past) because the numbers here correlate to the stickers on the front. There are some subsets to focus on things like batting gloves, socks, All-Stars, Home Run Derby champs, "Rookies and Rising Stars" as well as league leaders and 150 Years legends. Standard team pages have just four player stickers here and then there are mascots and awards as smaller highlight stickers with their teams or players. The fact that Pete Alonso and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. are in here could get some people ripping -- and maybe even slabbing (or is that just me?) -- along with the slight cardboard backers give this one a different feel. I just wish there were more cards per pack here and perhaps a larger checklist (perhaps two pages per team). Otherwise it's improved over past releases for sure.
