What's Buzz-worthy: It's a good thing these have been delivering Relics for me more times than not as I can't find anything else out there in the retail wild these days. This fourth blaster included my third hit of the year -- beating the odds at one in 82 packs for a second time -- and another rarer mini that's listed at one in 50 packs (Buggin' Out). As I said last time, they're not the flashiest cards but still decent finds to keep this one in A territory. I got some good baseball names throughout here so that helped balance out the pigs and rubies found here. My RC count also was quite low but it was a key name. ... Poke around for more of my thoughts on this recently released brand. I've been a buster since 2006 so newer versions may not always grab me as much but some of the touches here and many of the surprises make this one a brand to always consider ripping for an MLB collector who doesn't mind the variety and weird stuff.

Product Grade: A-
Box Grade: A-
Fun Grade: B (blasters just need something different added to mix every time)
