What's Buzz-worthy: We're back to reality after the last two good hangers here, though this one included 10 inserts while others have had less. The names here? Not that strong overall -- and some were identical to a past box (Stars of MLB) on all four cards. After my others, I can live with this. ... As noted before, these packs might be the best way to go for the price -- a blaster has more cards but might be a dryer break while my trio of these packs showed there is potential. 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 with a normal pack but this one was stronger. ... If you like what you see, rip into jumbo for your best results with a guaranteed autograph and Relic and maybe more.
