What's Buzz-worthy: This one remains on the popular side for 2020 releases but rather than dig into a full box or a premium-priced blaster I went the cheap-o route with a trio of loose blaster packs just to revisit this one with a small taste. Odds-wise, it delivered OK -- it had an insert per pack here (one in four or one in eight packs for the odds) but the biggest find might have been the basic Ohtani card. ... Stadium Club is a fun release for a number of reasons but it has a pretty big base set that can mean of the star power is missing if you're ripping into a small box or pack lot like this. This brand is one that carries a slightly premium feel with a pair of autos in every hobby box -- that's your best buy these days -- but if you want a cheap rip with good basics and some chase then those blasters work, too. My small pack lot experiment? I might do this on older stuff ... this one wasn't a wowser but I like the overall release.

Product Grade: A-
Lot Grade: B
Fun Grade: C (beat the odds with the inserts but pretty average names here value-wise)
