What's Buzz-worthy: I picked one of these up since the Blue Walmart parallels here deliver in the same volume as blasters -- so if you want to chase those this might be your safest bet for the bucks -- and while I didn't get much there I did get a pair of numbered parallels and a rare one of a future Hall of Famer. The Pujols alone makes the box here since it's a $10 box. The rest included some good names among the inserts, especially with the retail-only Turkey Reds, while my base cards were decent with a mix of rookies (a ROY in there) and then some notables from the past. This year's rookie crop isn't as strong (just wait for 2021) but this release still has a lot of key names that arguably could add just as much value if you land them on key parallel versions.

Product Grade: A-
Box Grade: A+ (Advanced parallel is one in 33 boxes, Independence is one in 87)
Fun Grade: B (while generous in inserts still feels like it needs something different every time to get higher grade ... or more volume in Blues)
