What's Buzz-worthy: Who says a little box can't deliver big? Normally, one card can make that happen but this box's run of inserts includes two of the top rookies for this year, a Mike Trout appearance and some other popular names. But the card that I liked finding first? The Bo Bichette Rookie Card. It's not quite the A+ box I had last time with a rarer Luis Robert appearance or an autograph, but this one is still pretty solid. And it's another example of why I think this is an A+ release this year. ... As said last time, hobby and jumbo boxes at that link up top offer guaranteed ink and in volume -- so if that's what you expect, go that route. It could translate into a big payday. The blaster breakdown this year is basically identical to last year with Sepia cards only found here and Pink cards being the showcase insert in the retail multi-packs. There will be mega boxes to come, too, with X-Fractors but I think those are arriving in the next wave of retail ... watch for the trays to see if you missed it. (Well, unless the shelf-clearers took those, too.) Chrome has always been a safer buy in my mind but it has taken off substantially in recent years -- and there are tons of colorful reasons why.
