What's Buzz-worthy: These boxes are simple rips that have a lot of safety and some longshot potential within a simple lineup that's loaded with stars and Rookie Cards and some variation chase. This one? Nothing real flashy this time but if you find a notable on the hit or one of the parallels you can come out ahead here if you found them close to original price. My best card here might be the "rare" variation for Bryant which is every other box. (The Berrios is an easier version.) I like them since I hadn't yet seen any variations where players were throwing snowballs though ultimately the Bryant is the only thing here that got more than a penny sleeve treatment from me. My RCs were pretty rough here despite the volume with no appearances from Randy Arozarena or Luis Robert who appeared often in some of my past breaks. 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: B+ (nothing real flashy this time)
