What's Buzz-worthy: Believe it or not, I found this one out in the wild -- but not in a clearance bin. (How? I have no idea ... but it was there.) Despite that, it was a no-brainer of a buy with a loaded Rookie Card crop and this pack had the RC logo on literally a third of the cards. Could I have done better? Maybe, but this one's a bit like pizza -- even when it's not that good, it's still pizza. ... As mentioned before, grading also makes these boxes have more potential than you might think -- and could have even more heat once they finally dry up. Look for more breaks of this one on the site for more images and thoughts. Had I landed a Gold parallel  of a key RC or maybe something rarer, this box would have been an easy A. This one had to work to get there. The numbered Votto card isn't a bad pull at one in 219 packs and the Acuña parallel helped out a little. All in all, a surprising box to find that included some surprises itself.

Product Grade: A-
Box Grade: A- (so many rookies, one rarer card and an Acuña parallel for the win ... but the box can be topped)
Fun Grade: B
