What's Buzz-worthy: I think one of the advantages to ripping into these vs. other retail formats is the rookie presence -- you get good volume -- and that gives you, in theory, a better shot at the better names though I don't feel like there was very much in this box on that front. The inserts and parallels here have some flash but wasn't what I was hoping for this time (1980s notables) vs. rookies and other notables from today. The run of Diamond Kings here is probably the most-impressive part here and then the Pink Ohtani might be the best single card. As mentioned last time, you get a definite minority of standard base cards here that also help the boxes feel like there's more going on between subsets and inserts. For more thoughts and looks at this one, check out my other breaks. If you're sold hit that link above to rip some hobby.
