What's Buzz-worthy: After two boxes that delivered Luis Robert appearances twice in each of them, this box was a little more back to reality with a pretty lean run of basics but some good Hall of Fame names among the inserts -- not to mention one of those past boxes had three serial-numbered cards inside ... in a blaster! This one? Not so much on the Robert front, nothing on the numbered front ... very rough in comparison. As said last time, the overall feel here is strong but I'd suggest doing a jumbo hobby box as the volume there is comfy with an auto and other hits guaranteed every time -- plus those boxes have had some collation issues in some instances with insane runs on super-rare cards. (Hit the forum to see ... some crazy multi-Trout, multi-patch runs have happened.) There are SPs in this one, too, with some rare cards also possible in this format -- you never know what might pop up if you rip a few. Not all boxes will be winners in this smaller format, but there's a lot to look for here.

Product Grade: B+
Box Grade: B- (not a good box this time but that run of Turkey Red Hall of Famers saved it from average)
Fun Grade: B
