What's Buzz-worthy: My second hanger box here delivered nearly identical results of the first but with one fewer insert and many familiar names among the base, including Wander Franco. He (or any particular base card) should be found one in every six times you open these boxes. ... The Stars cards are retail-only finds with parallels and Chromes in play and they make up most of your insert presence here. That gives you good volume but not great variety. The hobby boxes also are too lean on inserts if you ask me so this format does feel a little more enticing but still base-heavy. ... This year's design is stronger and I think it will look good when Chromed and with color. You can find a lot of the same stuff as in hobby in retail and in this format -- just at some long odds. For more basic thoughts here, see my other breaks ... and I'll probably drop more in the coming days.

Product Grade: B+ (better design than last year -- just needs something more)
Box Grade: A- (Franco and a Chrome help make this smaller-size box a win)
Fun Grade: B (good volume on inserts, though not a lot of variety)
