What's Buzz-worthy: Box Nos. 5 and 6 from my recent sealed tray pick-up delivered the key base card names here if you ask me -- Vladdy, Ohtani, Judge and Franco -- and this one included the basics among the inserts with the only rarer find being the Home Run Challenge card that's one in 10 packs ... so roughly one per tray. Pretty much everything here normal and the Stars of MLB inserts delivered pretty much the best veteran names possible. 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. I have just two hangers left from my tray ... and I'll admit here now that there's really no big "wow" coming for the finale ... but overall I didn't mind the overall volume and mix here for a discounted price. I think that will eventually be the definite norm for a heavily produced Series 1 and likely also for Series 2 based on how new formats are still to come for that one with a retail presence that seems expanded in some ways, too.

Product Grade: B+ (better design than last year -- just needs something more)
Lot Grade: A- (good names in inserts and base)
Fun Grade: B+ (decent finds in this pairing
