What's Buzz-worthy: Want a box that has more potential (and more safety) than others that a lot of the retail hunters are sitting on? It's this one ... the home of a guaranteed hit every time (and with autos and auto-Relics possible with some long-shot luck), a small volume of parallels to add some chase, fun variations found a couple times per box (also with a deep chase) and then a boatload of Rookie Cards if you strike out on something bigger. This box? Not the flashiest but still an A+ with a Randy Arozarena appearance standard Luis Robert RC, a Robert parallel, a couple of SPs, a fun box-topper and then all the other stuff you should expect here. ... These arrived late for the Holiday season but they're strong with key rookies and that hit to help out. Variations have Santa Claus hats, scarves, snowballs, Santa Claus belts and more worked into their photos -- and some have more than one tweak on their images depending on how scarce the card is -- there are three tiers of SPs (one in seven, one in 20 and one in 161 packs). These boxes are meaty and offer up a bargain-priced rip with some up-side, especially if you're chasing RCs to slab or just rip something for fun.
Product Grade: A
Box Grade: A+ (two Roberts, an Arozarena and more ... not flashy but good volume of better names)
Fun Grade: B+
