What's Buzz-worthy: My new arrivals are still on a truck today -- one will still get opened today -- but as I wait, I dipped back to my stash of these. This one? Pretty dry in all regards but not deficient ... so not average but not great, either. ... As I've noted before, the foilboard effect is back on every single card but instead of going dark on the borders it's a mash-up of 1982, 1984 and 2019 with a light modern look this time around. Does it work? Yes. ... The new Diamante parallels bring some funk -- they're different and I don't mind them -- but the lineup of what's in these packs is ultimately the same as last year with the Stars Of MLB cards once again carrying more retail weight -- so it definitely still needs more variety in this format. ... The 1990 cards are the home to some good ink and some rarer chases -- some Frank Thomas NNOF homages that are tough -- but I opted for the smaller format where that stuff is less likely to be found. If you like what you see, rip into jumbo for your best results with a guaranteed autograph and Relic and maybe more.

Product Grade: A-
Box Grade: B-
Fun Grade: B- (still needs more variety here on a pack-to-pack basis ... and collation may be repetitive)
