What's Buzz-worthy: Remember back when these dropped? It seems like a year ago -- and they are long gone -- but they remain an enigma. This is my last straggler of several of these I ripped. Why? Well, Walmart boxes like this one seemed to deliver hits often or maybe even every time. Meanwhile, Target versions delivered SP cards in place of all base cards -- so a boatload of inserts in every single box. I really like the mix of legends and current players here with a number of key rookies also in play. This box? Luis Robert, for example. Hobby boxes (link up top) are your best bet with guaranteed hits but if you like to dabble with the chance at something more for a low price then the blasters are worth a look -- if you can find them. There's good potential here with the hits, too, if you rip into hobby. I'm more of a sucker for the Target blasters that can deliver good names in volume as most hits I've seen in Walmart boxes were not that big. (But I have seen some people report vintage guys.)
