What’s Buzz-worthy: The fun trip that is Donruss baseball is one that I’ve taken more than a few times this year in blasters because they deliver pretty well — just not anywhere as in-depth as the hobby break done here that received high marks. You get a guaranteed hit and a few inserts with these blasters and there can sometimes be multiple numbered cards. Check out that past break for more details on inclusions and rip a hobby box if you can — if not, try out a blaster for a start. It’s a fun rip that will typically include one variation, a ton of inserts and plenty of big names.
