What's Buzz-worthy: I'm not sure if it's just some dumb luck or a trend here, but I've opened no more than five of these boxes and I've landed the MVP as the hit (exact same card). That makes it a pretty decent box overall though without it this box wasn't as strong as others I have opened, particularly on the Rookie Card front. All in all, this was still a comfortable box. ... As said before, I've liked this brand quite a bit visually the last few years, maybe a little less last year, but this one is simple and clean with photos getting a strong ride here with a meaty mix of inserts and a hit in every box. ... About the only thing I can find to nitpick here? The use of full-body photos on pretty much every card (it gets repetitive and some images feel stiff while others are good). Overall, it's not a big problem, but it does influence the feel here and there. The SP rookie list is not the best names so there are some easy reasons to rip into these -- and they seem more plentiful than other brands so far this year (for now).
