What's Buzz-worthy: I didn't rip a ton of this one vs. recent years ... but I probably should have as it's got a really nice mix of legends along with the stars of today and RCs. I mean, Walter Johnson alongside Marcell Ozuna? And Jackie Robinson in the inserts right beside Mookie Betts ... it's a good mix and the art style, while perhaps not for everybody, still works even with a border that's a a little heavy. Even at its retail leanest this is a good collector break if you ask me -- low-risk with good volume in return -- and you do have a shot at some big names, too. Hobby boxes of this one can deliver hits every time and are a good value considering That Ruth Guy and plenty more are among the potential finds. ... Retail is the exclusive home of Blue Artist Proof and Red Framed parallels here but at present prices I'd do a hobby box.

Product Grade: A
Box Grade: B+ (good names here -- just nothing genuinely big beyond maybe Robinson or Jazz ... but they aren't)
Fun Grade: A- (really good variety in a small pack)
