You're not crazy if you felt like this years box is lighter.
I purchased this 2019 Topps Series 1 Baseball Walmart Hanger Box for an inflated price of $14 because it contains a hit.
Exclusive to Walmart boxes is Ronald Acuna Jr. Highlights cards. As you may have read, this years hanger boxes has 67 cards, which is 5 cards less than previous years.
I paid $14 for that box because I wanted to post a Target vs. Walmart insert battle with an even playing field.

Insert Cards
-
RA-4 Ronald Acuna Jr. (odds 2:1).
Acuna Jr. was named the National League Rookie of the Year in 2018. Being the youngest player in MLB history to hit a postseason grand slam, aged 20 years 293 days, might have had something to do with that.
-
RA-30 Ronald Acuna Jr. (odds 2:1).
-
EO-22 Modern Catcher's Mask.
The back of that card shows what a modern catcher's mask looks like.
-
R84-100 Aaron Judge.
It's a bummer Judge was injured for nearly two months in the 2018 season, because he was hit by a 93 MPH fastball by Kansas City Royals pitcher Jakob Junis on his right wrist.
-
Rainbow Foil 51 Michael Brantley (odds 1:2).
I also pulled this card from my Target box. What are the odds?
- 84R-KBR Kris Bryant (odds 1:44).
Before the start of the 2018 season, Sports Illustrated ranked Bryant as the third-overall best player in baseball.
