What's Buzz-worthy: My last box of this one landed me a parallel insert that's one in 272 boxes -- that was not to be this time but I did land a photo variation (one in 43 or so packs if I remember correctly ... I already chucked my box) and some solid names among the inserts and basics here. This isn't the flashiest box but it didn't feel like a bad one, either, with a pair of Bo Bichette appearances as well as Acuña, Trout, Alonso, Tatis, etc. The manufactured Relics here are a highlight if you ask me -- and parallels as well as ink are possible in them and that might get me looking back at this one if the pickings are slim out there. Want more thoughts on this one and to see even more? Check out my hobby box break here and poke around on The Buzz for a few other retail breaks, too.
