What's Buzz-worthy: This series sold 29,341 packs and I finally bit here just to have a quick and cheaper (though not that cheap) break of something with potential from a year with some good finds. I did well but didn't land what I wanted. Among the possibilities here? Bo Bichette, Derek Jeter, Juan Soto, Ernie Banks, Lou Gehrig, Tom Seaver, Ronald Acuña Jr., Luis Robert and Mark McGwire for starters. Generally, it's a strong but simple lineup of 50 cards with three parallels per pack. There's a longer shot at ink, too, but I wouldn't expect that regularly. There are some rare parallels, though, that could make for some good finds if they're attached to good names. There are 1/1 Ty Cobb backs, blank backs (/10), and Cycle (/25) along with other traditional styles. My Sovereign find is one in six packs. So with that, combined with the names, this isn't a bad pack.
Product Grade: B
Box Grade: A- (not flashy but helped by an extra insert with four Hall of Famers)
Fun Grade: B
