What's Buzz-worthy: I landed some rarer stuff here similar to my first box and I actually landed a big volume of Rookie Cards, too, but the best RCs were not in this one ... and that hurt things here some but it's still a big box based on some odds. That Gold Tanaka? One in 819 packs (35 boxes). The Gold auto? One in 902 (38 boxes) -- tough pulls once again found in the same box. It's still An A+ caliber box on those two cards alone, but I'll drop it to an A since the RCs were lacking this time. (The last box spoiled me and was probably more of a money box vs. this one as Kremer is only around $50 on eBay.) Oddly, some of my inserts lined up the same as the last box, too, while my standard Refractors were a bit flat for the most part. As I noted last time, though, had I landed larger names in key spots here it could have been a monster box. This is a brand that has delivered very well often in the last five years. It's worth taking the shot.
