What’s Buzz-worthy: This is an iconic brand in many ways — printing, packaging, Rookie Cards, design — but this pack was simply brutal. It happens with just 15 cards and an 800-card set. As there should have been there were two high-number (Nos. 701-800) cards in this one — a forgettable combo of Pete O’Brien and Mel Hall — and then the rest of them were potentially a Ken Griffey Jr. Rookie Card. Except they weren’t. The only thing close to a good card in this one was a Fred McGriff team checklist. The Star Rookie? A checklist, too. Maybe Buzz will grab one of these packs again (or maybe a box) for a future 12 in 12 … it couldn’t get much worse than this pack!
