What’s Buzz-worthy: My third one of these is a bit of a bummer as I landed that Akers sweater card last time and my Red & Green Optic card of a DB just isn't what I was looking for -- but ultimately these deliver pretty much identical results every time making them worth a rip -- hit that link above. I had yet another box here with Tee Higgins and the Chase Claypool Rated Rookie was a decent find but this box didn't wow me. Ultimately, the Optic cards here (one per box, not close to that in standard for other Optic Previews) and the sweater cards make this one to rip if you ask me. As I mentioned before, blasters are still a little lean beyond the rookie presence -- but there's good potential to find top rookies on the hits and there are also multi-player cards to find, too. ... The overall approach here is familiar and within the formula of recent years for Donruss but this year's design is simple and stronger than last year if you ask me.

Product Grade: A-
Box Grade: B
Fun Grade: B (blasters don't cough up the best volume of inserts ... but more RCs)
