What's Buzz-worthy: This one is an average box in my book despite the fact that the Silver auto here is one in 21 packs and the Purple parallel is one in five. Rarer pulls but not that big of a deal right now. The rookie presence here was decent -- two base RCs and a parallel of a notable name in terms of performance but still not right now on the value side. There are a ton of RCs in this base set so that shouldn't be too abnormal and there are a few of note here including Bo Bichette and Randy Arozarena. There are patch autos, auto jumbo patches, letters, laundry tags, logos, books, socks and more here ... but for all those bigs you do have to have some smalls like this one, though like I said it's not the typical kind of ink here. I think this box is a good example of how there's safety in pairs -- especially if young players are involved -- a pair of hits with all those young guys shouldn't put a massive dent in the budget if it was done here and it might help make rips a little better with players on the upswing as well as those two might not be. There's big stuff here but it's going to be hit and miss ... but when you hit a key name in a key way you should do pretty well.
Product Grade: B+
Box Grade: C+ (not much in this one this time)
Fun Grade: C (small boxes are hit and miss ... this is an example of that even if I beat the odds)
