From time to time, Buzz will break a box of something and post the results here. Like this and want to see more? Or maybe there's a box you'd want to see busted? Send Buzz an email at BlowoutBuzz@blowoutcards.com.
The box: Baseball Power Cube baseball repack (MJ Holding)
Where to buy: Retail outlets ($19.99)
Packs per box: 5 ... and plenty more
Cards per pack: Varies by brand
Notables on base cards – See gallery for key pulls
The stated inclusions:
-- Two autograph or memorabilia cards
-- Three (Topps) Purple parallel cards
-- Three sealed packs -- 2018 Topps Series 1 hobby pack and two 2019 Topps Series 1 packs
-- Two Panini Triple Play packs
-- 120+ assorted cards
What's Buzz-worthy: What's better than three Purple parallels? How about 25 ... though I say that admitting that the older ones thrown in here were uncomfortably beat up. (Partly a result of how they were originally packaged.) Why dabble with these repacks? They are the only home for 2019 Topps Update Purple parallels -- check out my huge box from a recent rip here that yielded a big-money card -- that can deliver very well. Why? Well, it seems as if there was some type of snafu and the Meijer-exclusive cards didn't get distributed like they normally do in packs ... only here. This time, I did get a couple of veteran names among my 2019 Purples and the guaranteed hits but the 2017 Topps Gallery RCs of Aaron Judge and Cody Bellinger were nice finds, too, along with a dirt-cheap but solid Ozzie Albies RC. (Remember, this is a blaster-priced repack ... so the volume adds up.) The inserts and key names are in the gallery below. If you can still access your retail aisle, have a Meijer store and have it as pillaged as I think it might be these days -- all those empty trays are happening often -- then you might take a look at these if they are before you. There can be some good possibilities -- not in every box, but that set was a loaded one.
Product Grade: A- (Purples make it interesting along with guaranteed hits for price)
Box Grade: B (helped by a few RCs)
Fun Grade: B (I've definitely had better ones)
