CARDBOARD REVIEW:2021 Chronicles Draft Picks Football x2

It's football season folks! That time of year where every teams hopes and dreams are high, yes even you Lions fans. Everyone is 0-0 and it's anyone's game until they start.

It's also time for those rookies cards you have been hoarding out of 2021 products to arise. Wait, you don't have any yet? Well, do I have a product suggestion for you. Dive on into a box of Chronicles football and I promise you will find the names you need.

Let's check out my break, breaks, of this product.
In every hobby box of 2021 Chronicles football there are 6 packs of 8 cards. Each hobby box comes 4 hits, autographs and memorabilia cards, and each box roughly goes for $250.

BASE:
Chronicles has it's own base set, but it also has other products in it which build up into one big 400 card set.

Here are the other product options you will find in 2021 Chronicles,
  • Donruss
  • Donruss Optic Rated Rookie
  • Flux
  • Legacy
  • Playbook
  • Playoff
  • Prestige
  • Rookies & Stars
  • Score
  • Select
  • Spectra
  • Status
Each of these individual sets has 25 cards to collect in them.

Select silver of Trey Lance (NIIIIICE!!)

Purple /49

HITS:
There are a lots of great pulls to be found, I just didn't find them.
Davis Mills could be the future of the Texans if Watson is traded.


6th round WR Dazz Newsome plays for the Bears

And final hit, Kadarius Toney. You guessed it, I was mostly excited about this one...GMEN BABY!

I figured there was no point in doing a double review of the same product, so here is how the second box went,
Patterson plays for the Washington Football Team

Ehlinger (nice looking card) plays for the Colts and Newman signed with the Eagles as a rookie free agent. That card is /10

Tamorrion Terry Full Coverage

 
Ja'Marr Chase (niiiiiice pull-Bengals top pick)

And two more wows to end out the second box, Trevor Lawrence silver Select and a Trey Lance Red from Illusions

OVERALL THOUGHTS:
First box was a little meh, but what wasn't in the first box was in the second box. So that makes me wonder if some boxes are better than others or maybe that's just the way it appeared this time around.

I really like the mix of cardboard and chromed cards in this break. Made for a fun chase in trying to find the top rookies in each part.

I think price point and value, well, I think this is the closest it can get in today's hobby.

Let me know your thoughts on these breaks and the product overall in comments.
