What's Buzz-worthy: My final one of these is another that delivered pretty well thanks to a Skenes appearance, the Acuña parallel and some other rookies among all fronts here, especially that Imanaga variation. I didn't check back but I think all six -- or close to it -- of my tins delivered a top rookie and stars popped up among the inserts pretty much all times, too. That shows how jam-packed this one can be ... and this is its smallest format. ... As I noted before, there's nothing subtle about this one and its theme -- and that's probably why a three-pack turned into six-pack of tins here for December Buzz Breaks. ... You get a variation in every tin and ornament inserts are one in three. There are other parallels of the Trees here and that's about the only chase other than the variations. (Hits are stated as being in boxes every time but I have seen some without.) ... The design is a little heavy here but since my flagship buying was easily at an all-time low this year between all three series this one offers up a chase for stars in a more concentrated form with a quarter of the base set in every tin. This is perfect for a dabbler and a box will give you a hit every time with potential for even more ... this brand, as with most years, is a no-brainer to try.

Product Grade: A (nothing subtle about this design ... so, to a degree, it might be improved over some past years)
Box Grade: A
Fun Grade: B+ (for the price, it's low-risk with a good mix -- but boxes are safer with a hit every time)
