What's Buzz-worthy: My streak of hits in these boxes comes to an and here but I still like this one enough I still have more in reserve. Why? The price is right and they deliver some Red parallels that are only found here. The odds are long -- at least on the wrapper -- for hits but the variety that this one includes is good -- and you can find even more with a few sets that look like normal cards at longer odds as well as photo variations. As said last time, the hobby boxes will deliver a little more -- but not the Reds -- and the key here is pack volume. This one is basically half a hobby box with a bonus pack so you will land more here compared to a typical blaster box for $5 more. Hobby ultimately is safer (and still pretty cheap) with even more packs compared to this one. One thing to watch for here is a rare Luis Robert short-printed Rookie Card -- there's solid demand there. All in all, this is a simple rip ... and I like it.

Product Grade: B+ (the best stuff is too rare in this release)
Box Grade: B+ (good names here, especially in rookies)
Fun Grade: A-
