What's Buzz-worthy: At a glance, this box might now wow some of you but with a glance at the odds it's an A+ box. The Randy Arozarena Blue parallel is one of the Walmart-only parallels mentioned on the box -- and they are two per blaster. So that's a one in 150 box find for him specifically with perfect collation -- and it's a card that has sold for more than $50 on eBay. Over the long term, it will be a big card if he builds upon his outrageous season and postseason run. (Throw in his standard RC -- the key being that he's seen with the Rays -- and it's gravy.) The photo variation card is one in 63 packs and the Vintage Stock card is one in 317. (Reminder ... just seven packs per box here.) Throw in a Mike Trout coin card ... it's a really solid box for $19.99. Hobby boxes will give you a ton of stuff and jumbo boxes have even more guaranteed (I'd do jumbo first) but these can deliver. I only did one as I didn't expect this but I'll likely dabble more if need be and the boxes present themselves. This one was a nice surprise. I'll offer more thoughts then.

Product Grade: A-
Box Grade: A+ (Walmart-only Arozarena Blue parallel has topped $50 on its own ... then throw in two rare inserts and a Trout coin card)
Fun Grade: B
