What's Buzz-worthy: We've hit the last day of the MLB season so here's a quick one from the many newer releases out there -- but a blaster since I, personally, just haven't found one brand to dig into at a higher volume right now. Why this one? The rookie presence for starters but also the heavy insert volume -- both can have potential if you land the right name or a parallel. This box included a pair of numbered cards -- one pretty tough here at one in 151 packs -- and the rookies did show up here en masse. This is my second blaster to deliver a pair of numbered cards so that could be a trend in this format but ultimately the jumbo boxes are probably your best bet for this brand with guaranteed ink and plenty more in every box -- hit that link above. Check out my other breaks of this one for more on what it includes -- and look up the parallels for Guerrero on eBay completeds ... they might surprise you.
