What's Buzz-worthy: I recently picked up a small run of blasters and reluctantly paid the higher SRP for this one but was met with decent results that might make me think to revisit this one again -- so it was decent. I didn't get ink like my first -- and only -- blaster of this one but this box did include a nice Ohtani Sepia (perhaps the best color in retail) and then a Prismatic Tatis and a Trout appearance. They aren't anything huge but they are a pretty solid trio to find together. A solid A box that I didn't give the + grade to, since the rest was a little standard ... but still with star power. ... As I noted last time, I like the variety all in the mix here -- there's no exclusive bonus pack as all of the color Refractors are inserted into the packs this time. ... These boxes, as always, are small so they will be hit and miss -- and it looks like the suggested retail price has risen to $30. ... It's a popular brand -- hit hobby if you want the volume and guaranteed ink -- and you can find a lot more of everything there or in jumbos. They'll cost more but they'll give you more shots at the bigs to be found.
