What's Buzz-worthy: I'm not too tough to please at times and this box was an example of that. The first card I saw in the first pack I opened? The Sepia Bo Bichette Rookie Card parallel. I would have been perfectly fine after that but then I opened my first standard pack ... a Bichette RC on the back. From there, this one delivered pretty much like my first two did with the same lineup of inserts save for the diecut, which I hadn't landed in my fist two. The two Bichettes, a Harper and Soto appearances made this one feel pretty good with the Bichettes the biggies for me -- enough to get an A+ box grade in my book though you can probably find stronger ones out there. Mega boxes have also arrived at retail -- I'll likely be ripping one of those tomorrow ... because right now Chrome is king in baseball for new releases.
