What's Buzz-worthy: My previous break of this I had dubbed as my final one of these ... except I had misplaced this box ... so this one will be my Opening Day mega box finale. This one delivered well on the Rookie Card front and had some names among the inserts but is probably more toward the normal side of things here. You get a bunch of stuff in these cheap boxes and that's why I loaded up with a few when I found them on sale. The big potential pull here is the Luis Robert short-printed Rookie Card and I landed one out of this format and one out of my only blaster this year -- so they are possible in both formats. This format offers up Red parallels only found here and they also appear to be over-delivering/streaky at times, too, as I've pulled far more autos/Relics than I should have statistically. (See my past breaks for the details there.) Hobby ultimately is safer (and still pretty cheap) with even more packs compared to this one and that safety is largely made by the pack volume -- odds are tough on hits here no matter what and on some inserts, too.

Product Grade: B+ (the best stuff is too rare in this release)
Box Grade: B
Fun Grade: A-
