What's Buzz-worthy: Box 4 -- the halfway point -- of my recent sealed tray pick-up delivered a little more on the insert front but less on the RC count ... and it was a little light on the base cards' base stars -- but over-saturated with the talent on the leaders/highlights cards among them. An interesting mix ... not ideal, but it could have been worse. The Blue parallel is one in three packs, the Chrome is one in five. The rest here is pretty much the norm. For more thoughts on this one, check out my other breaks in this series of eight from the tray or a few other breaks of Series 1.
Product Grade: B+ (better design than last year -- just needs something more)
Box Grade: B+ (some good finds but nothing big enough to get to an A ... the Stars of MLB are heavy in retail)
Fun Grade: B
