What's Buzz-worthy: This was a cheap box I grabbed as part of a push for more small breaks from recent years that won't break the bank and this one showed how there might be more potential here than some might think. The Red Chrome? One in 207 packs. The Relic? One in 66. Throw in an Ohtani appearance and this is an A+ box based on stats alone with the first two cards. (Really, those two bigs should end up in different boxes to make more people happy but I'll take it.) The run of stars here was respectable but not super-stacked but it also helped ... those SPs were rough. All in all, this one was a win for a bargain-bin kind of price. ... There's a lot to like and chase here (see checklist with all of the variations noted above) but you'll need some luck to find many of them. You never know ... stuff found in hobby boxes here can also be in blasters ... just at longer odds.

Product Grade: A-
Box Grade: A+ (not great names but beat the odds a couple times here)
Fun Grade: A-
