Man Reddit is upset over the new Buxton card, calling it unusable due to the contact. They pretty much hate the whole drop.
There was nothing too surprising in the drop. The only part that surprised me is that I would have expected Manoah and Clase to be flipped, with Clase being the rare round. Kershaw was added because the only players who did anything worthwhile offensively for the NL were Goldy, Acuna and Betts but they all three already had cards rated 95 or above.
Reddit has complained and nitpicked about every single content drop for the last 3 years. It's almost unbearable. It's literally nothing but legend players complaining that H/9 or contact is too low for legend when the fact is almost no one cares about how cards play on legend because the extreme majority play AS and HOF only

I again went against my better judgment and bought 2 packs, its All-Star Week, live a little I thought. The first pack I got mid-round, took Helsley. Those attributes and pitch mix will play just fine for me. Buxton cards are fun, but I'm just not a good hitter so between the contact and vision I just didn't see him working out for me.
Second round I got base, took Kershaw. I am going to hold on to this card a bit, it seems like it could be sneaky good if used right.
