What's Buzz-worthy: How 'bout this box from the bargain bin? The Hall of Famer and rookie presence among the inserts alone makes this one a win with the J-Rod one in 15 packs, the Jones one in 18 .. and the Witt and Williams Proofs. That's a solid blaster and you have basically a one in 50 box chance at any one player on a Proof here so landing those two is nice. The standard rookie lineup here was the same as last time volume-wise but no A-level guys value-wise but the rest of the base was decent for sure with its mix of past and present names. ... Gallery is probably best ripped with the bigger box (link up top) that gets you more volume of everything and then two autos guaranteed. That's your best bet at landing more cardboard of substance. You can expect the Proofs and foils here but that's about it ... so if you land a better name in one of those spots there's a chance at something and this one was a winner. It's worth the look as a collector as it's crisp and clean with some chase cards like the super-rare stuff like that Mona Lisa card out there ... check eBay for some of those highlights.

Product Grade: A- (departs from artwork for a second year in row)
Box Grade: A+ (Witt as a parallel, J-Rod as and insert and one other insert that's a little rarer = win)
Fun Grade: A-
