What’s Buzz-worthy: Tearing into one of these boxes is almost solely about the Chase for Connor McDavid and his Young Guns Rookie Card — a card that’s still immensely pricey even when not graded. You get three Young Guns per box. Had it been McDavid? Big bucks. Instead, we settle for a Parkhurst Dylan Larkin as the highlight here — not a bad pull, but not McDavid. These boxes aren’t overly expensive, which is a bit surprising based on what McDavid can pull, but that allows for someone to collect with a shot at the big one (and others of note here) without breaking the bank. That’s all one can ask for when things heat up due to one hot rookie or a few young stars dominating.
