What’s Buzz-worthy: As said in a previous Optic blaster break here, if you dug in on 2017 Donruss for its array of inserts and a 1990 Donruss re-do then you’re probably going to like this one a lot. You even get five cards per pack, which is something that, historically, doesn’t happen with plastic-stock brands at retail, so there’s even safety in numbers with this one. It was fun and it delivered. This box included some notable names on the insert and short-print front — a very good lineup but maybe not one big-big card. These boxes don’t always run hot but they’re still a pretty fun rip.
