What's Buzz-worthy: My first box of this one included ink that beat the odds and this one beat the odds even moreso with a Wave Refractor that's one in every 112 packs -- one in 28 boxes -- featuring a Hall of Famer. Really, my only weaker part of this box was the base but it included Trout and a couple of Hall of Famers and then one of the better (but maybe not pricier) rookies of last year. The names among the inserts were strong ... with only ol' Connor Joe a weaker link rubbing shoulders with three Hall of Famers. ... This was cleaner than some of the recent Topps chrome-stock stuff lately in this wave of late 2022 releases that are finally arriving. All in all, for $25, this one delivered well just like my first one. I'll do more if they present themselves at SRP ... these are small boxes but they can deliver comfortably. We'll see how I feel when -- if -- I land a dud box ... everything I have opened so far has been strong.

Product Grade: A-
Box Grade: A (this box can be topped but it's very solid)
Fun Grade: B+ (should just make these one-pack boxes)
