What's Buzz-worthy: Not a bad little pack on all fronts, really, though my Reds could have arrived a little cleaner. ... I'm again making an effort to dabble with small pack breaks here -- call it a New Year's Resolution a little early -- though it's more for a couple practical reasons. One, with all the big SRPs on boxes these days there just aren't that many brands -- fewer and fewer really -- where I'd commit my collecting dollars to a big box without some bigger return expected ... and I have to actually like something a lot there, too. Secondly, the hit factor -- there isn't enough juice in a lot of them for my taste (and a hit is an autograph or memorabilia card not an insert or short-print ... I expect those, too). Hits aren't going to be a routine thing here in this format but at least the price is realistic and the variety is high ... so a smaller pack break is more of a pure for-collector response from me. This one had a good balance of better names past and present and then plenty of variety ... it's probably just one bigger name short on the insert front from getting an A-grade from me. But, for its price, it didn't feel like a rough rip at all and this brand is still for a collector who likes good names and fun cards and it's not a kid-approach brand, either. ... Just like last year, Score packs plenty of inserts in a pack, while the base set works in past stars among the first 300 with the last 100 players being rookies. It's not the crispest package of stuff but I have definitely seen rougher options with higher prices attached in recent years. As a collector, I'll probably dabble here more. If you like this one and want a bigger bite, hit the link up top for a lot more -- and guaranteed hits. If it dips, I might dabble at some point.
