What's Buzz-worthy: This is my last of these boxes and, while I didn't land a hit, I did land the key basic card -- the short-printed Luis Robert Rookie Card. That has sold for around $60 lately on eBay but initially was as much as $300. Why? They aren't easy pulls -- and clearly some of the eager buyers out there are sold on him, despite the fact that he hasn't played in a real MLB game yet. (He did pretty well this spring, though.) My rookie crop was nearly identical to a previous break I did with some of the key names in there. As said before, the price is right on these and they deliver some Red parallels that are only found here. The odds are long -- at least on the wrapper -- for hits, but the variety that this one includes is good. Hobby boxes will deliver a little more -- but not the Reds -- and this format is basically half a hobby box with a bonus pack so you will land more here compared to a typical blaster box. Hobby ultimately is safer (and still pretty cheap) with even more packs compared to this one. All in all, this is a simple rip ... and I like it.

Product Grade: B+ (the best stuff is too rare in this release)
Box Grade: A+ (Robert makes it a win, but some other stuff was pretty solid, too)
Fun Grade: A-
