What’s Buzz-worthy: The fun trip that is Donruss baseball had to be part of today’s 12 in 12 after this box simply wowed me — for its price, it gives the hobby break done here that received high marks a run for its money. It doesn’t beat the hobby box but it does show you there’s still a lot of potential inside blasters. You get a guaranteed hit and a few inserts with these blasters and they can impress. It’s a fun rip — and the proof is that I’ve busted at least three boxes of this one here this year — and a few more blasters that weren’t Buzzed.
