What's Buzz-worthy: While my first blaster of the year over-delivered with big-name prospects and rare parallels falling all in the same place, this one delivered in a different way -- with a one-in-62 autograph. That's one in 11 boxes this year. Did I land anything truly big here? Probably not -- at least for now -- but that happens with these smaller-sized boxes. Bowman is as hot as it gets this year thanks to just a couple of guys -- and the borders are back that "everybody" says they missed the last few years so this one should be seriously considered if you find it. Those big names have box prices a bit nutty already but that comes with the territory more times than not with this brand. Jasson Dominguez, Robert Puason and Bobby Witt Jr. are three of the notable newcomers to look for here on the prospect front -- and with the release being staggered because of COVID-19 shutdown delays, there should be plenty of anticipation for everything in here, especially if you missed out on 2020 Bowman 1st Edition.

Product Grade: A
Box Grade: A- (not as impressive without the auto, but landing it beat the odds here)
Fun Grade: B+
