What's Buzz-worthy: Sometimes you have to go back to the basics and sometimes you can beat the odds well. The Gold 1985 card here? A cool one in 1,910 packs -- one in 272 boxes -- though it pays for just a part of the box. (Had that been a Mike Trout or key young slugger? Very different story.) Pretty much everything else was closer to the norm for a box, though the Decade's Next cards aren't in every blaster. I landed one of the key Rookie Cards here, too, but the general highlights in this brand are the inserts and this one was hit and miss. I got some solid names and then some depth ... but definitely not the strongest depth. The manufactured Relic is one I would want to land here -- I like those cards -- but it does have a slightly crooked cut (look at the top and bottom borders in relation to the photo). Want more thoughts on this one and to see even more? Check out my hobby box break here and poke around on The Buzz for a few other retail breaks. The blasters actually have done me pretty well this year.

Product Grade: A
Box Grade: A (one really rare pull and a few key names)
