What's Buzz-worthy: This one took some time to arrive after I ordered it back in December but that's OK as it's a box with some volume and plenty for prospectors to chase. For somebody who dabbles more than prospects like me? Well, I didn't land the guy on the box so that was a bit of a bummer (I've pulled him a few times in USA Baseball releases so I'll be OK). The color scheme here is largely kind of an oddly dark color with the Hyper Red & Purple cards being the heaviest presence but the Silvers and Greens do help -- and I might have landed my best names there.  These are the home of an auto in every box and this time I landed a redemption -- oddly, not points -- so that kind of sealed my deal here ... not a box that impressed me that much this time. Some of the inserts designs here initially made me wonder if I had a card missing an auto sticker or a misprint -- though it was just where a logo would have gone if a player had a licensed school. (I think Panini should have just darkened that box. On base cards where there's a gap on the front and an even larger one on the back, I think some type of "star rookie" logo should/could have been used. There's a ton of empty space on those backs.) All in all, it's a good mix, but I think hobby boxes will be your best bet (hit that link) since they guarantee more hits and more numbered stuff but fewer overall cards.

Product Grade: B
Box Grade: B- (Good variety but I missed on biggest name ... plus a redemption.)
Fun Grade: B- (See above. It might even be an average box this time but I'm not sure ... so it's all in the gallery.)
