What's Buzz-worthy: As part of my effort to do more Buzz Breaks here on the smaller side of things -- in both price and volume -- I figured I'd rip into one of these bricks and I say that in literal form ... it's one huge 67-card pack. Was it great? No, but it was also cheap (under $10) but for that price I'd do the blasters for about $1 more (link up top) with a guaranteed manufactured Relic. Why? At least you'll get that card if you strike out. This one isn't far off from a whiff but it did have some good names pop up more than once among the base and it did include a Chrome that's one in 10 packs. ... There's a ton of potential in this one between the parallel potential for RCs and big names ... that could make for some really good packs/boxes in all formats even if it wasn't your standard kind of year for Topps Update with historic looks at past All-Star Game and Home Run Derby action. This pack wasn't a winner for me, but 2020 was a year with some good potential finds.

Product Grade: A-
Box Grade: B- (despite Trout and Bichette appearances ... it just still felt underwhelming)
Fun Grade: C (see above)
