Autographs/memorabilia: None

What's Buzz-worthy: A Refractor might not seem like a big deal here -- and it might not be player-wise -- but those are found on in 77 packs (one in 13 boxes) and are actually harder to pull than autographs (one in 11). My prospect lineup here was pretty rough -- perhaps under average save for a couple of names -- but the Rookie Card lineup was absolutely stacked. (That Bichette is a perfect card, by the way.) Both areas show why this one is worth ripping -- landing key names and key names as parallels can easily make a box a winner. ... Bowman is as hot as it gets this year thanks to just a couple of guys -- and the borders are back that "everybody" says they missed the last few years so this one should be seriously considered if you find it. Those big names have box prices a bit nutty already but that comes with the territory more times than not with this brand. Jasson Dominguez, Robert Puason and Bobby Witt Jr. are three of the notable newcomers to look for here on the prospect front -- and with the release being staggered because of COVID-19 shutdown delays, there should be plenty of anticipation for everything in here, especially if you missed out on 2020 Bowman 1st Edition. If you haven't found any yet, keep looking ... it's coming and worth the rip.
