What's Buzz-worthy: I've ripped a bunch of these in recent months and these are my final two -- and while they didn't cough up any already-hyped draft picks, the two college guys here are already minor leaguers for the Royals and Cardinals, one is in college and the youngest one will be draft-eligible this year ... so there's still a lot going on here ... and these are some of their only autographed cards for MLB or even college baseball fans to chase. I'll make my recap here on the short side as you can see more in other breaks ... As said before, these are full sets with a pair of autographs and an insert as the chase all presented in rack pack form for this annual release for USA Baseball -- and it's a more-affordable way to dabble compared to hobby boxes (that are still also pretty cheap ... hit that link up top) that have at least five hits (of more varying types) every time. The base set includes the 15U, 18U and Collegiate National Teams and this one is so loaded it includes the last two No. 1 overall MLB Draft picks in Adley Rutschman and Spencer Torkelson. ... If you just want a set or to amass base cards, ripping into these will get that done instantly. Rip with some volume and you're likely to land a mess of young MLB prospects for a fraction of the price of a Bowman release and pretty much all of them have autos here, too. There might not be any other prospect-level auto out there that's fully licensed and more undervalued than USA stuff -- and sets have been loaded with first-rounders and other high picks in recent years. In fact, I pulled a Torkelson Contenders auto out of one of these -- they're $200-$350 asking price on eBay.
