What's Buzz-worthy: What a box ... the toughest pull here is the Pink parallel at one in 546 packs (78 boxes) and that Trout isn't shabby as it's one of 50 possible finds that are one per box here. Those are on some Five Star-caliber stock this year, too, and I expect some of them will be quite popular as they carry a premium feel more than past years' blaster bonus cards. The inserts really delivered a solid mix of names here while the rookies had a couple of key names but still very good volume for just seven packs. The base mix here? Heavy on guys not that valuable but good names. Also a surprise? Gold parallels are not in every box here, either, as they are one in 14 packs but the rest of the stuff here was closer to the norm but, again, not all guaranteed. This box starts off my year with an A+ for sure. Want more thoughts on this one and to see even more? Check out my hobby box break here.
