What's Buzz-worthy: Are you a collector wanting to rip some packs with plenty of star power and some decent insert volume on the cheap? This is one to open -- and I'd do two or three of these blasters to really soak it in vs. hobby display boxes ... they ultimately deliver about the same with long odds on both versions. You can find printing plates, Relics and autos here just like the other boxes. About the only warning possible here is that the boxes do deliver in a somewhat streaky fashion. I opened four of these (to get some free shipping) and I swear two were near identical and this one was also very close to what I found in a hobby box just not as much volume. That's a good thing if you're looking for certain players or inserts. New this year -- and also streaky -- are the perforated Triple Play cards that pair teammates. It's Opening Day so I'll keep this one brief ... check out my A+ hobby box break here for other details.

Product Grade: A- (best stuff is still too rare but mix is good for price)
Box Grade: A- (22 packs in a blaster at a good price)
Fun Grade: B+ (so close to an A here ... just needed more visual variety)
