What's Buzz-worthy: They say hangers are bangers but this one simply is not -- and I'm a Heritage buyer since 2001 so I have seen my fair share of dud packs over the years. Don't take my word for it -- you can see every card here in the gallery below. Are there All-Stars here? Sure, but not a lot of hobby-good players this time. In fact, I think the Ohtani insert is the lone highlight here -- a retail-only find that doesn't pay for a basic retail pack, let alone this one. It happens ... small sample size. With these so cheap out there in the wild I think these are worth the look -- by the handful or tray -- but doing only one makes this a risky one. Oddly, a past jumbo pack of this one that I did included more rookie cards despite having a lot less in play. It also included a short-print ... which this didn't as they are one in three. I'm not sure I remember a time where hangers didn't have some SP presence every time ... though I guess it's possible. For more thoughts on this one, check out my other breaks.

Product Grade: A-
Box Grade: D+ (Ohtani is flying solo as the lone highlight here)
