What's Buzz-worthy: One card can make a box and the one card here is the one basic card that's an SP in this release and one that's sold for as much as $99 so far on eBay -- the Luis Robert Rookie Card that's found approximately two per hobby case. (So, yes, they are in retail since I found one here.) The rest of the box was a little more uneventful but still not bad considering the price -- $9.99 for blasters here. The inserts I found this time really weren't all that visually appealing but there are a number of fun inclusions here at longer odds. I'll likely do a hobby box or two as this one ha good potential for the price. I'll say more then and let the SP rule the day here ... because it did.
Product Grade: B+ (the fun stuff is still too rare)
Box Grade: A+ (thanks to the SP)
Fun Grade: A- (thanks to the SP ... but otherwise a bit dry this time)
