What's Buzz-worthy: This is just my second blaster of this -- I didn't ever rip into this one back when it arrived -- but it once again delivered some interesting results, though it wasn't as good as my previous one that included some A-list star power from the past and present among the parallels. The parallel lineup was the same and the overall insert volume was, too, and it works. The base here this time skewed more retro players and Hall of Famers. ... This one has a little more oomph to it at retail vs. some other years with this one including some exclusive inserts and colors -- all found in this box this time. There are 1/1 Black parallels possible here as well as Gold (/10) atop the colors seen in this one as well as autographs for old-timers and prospects alike. I like the old names on modern looks here and there's definite upside to names like Elly De La Cruz and Bobby Witt Jr., who are both in here, too.

Product Grade: B+
Box Grade: B
Fun Grade: B (delivered mildly well for a discount-bin box -- have definitely seen leaner assortments)
