What's Buzz-worthy: My first impression of these retail-only tins -- my base cards -- was not good as I found just four RCs from a deep class in a meaty pack. And the crop of top stars wasn't that great, either. The inserts, though, made up for it with two appearances from Yordan Alvarez and some other notables that took away from some of the sting. Announced as a Walmart-exclusive, there have been some sightings for these at Target stores, too, and they are the home of exclusive Decades Best Chrome cards -- one per tin -- and also guarantee a Turkey Red Chrome in every tin as well as some decent volume on standard Turkey Red inserts only found at retail. There are six different tins -- all in the gallery below -- and these are $5 less than a blaster. (I'd personally probably still go blaster as the medallion cards are nice this year.) Want more thoughts on this one and to see even more? Check out my hobby box break here.
