Random Cardboard Of The Day: 2021 Prizm Fireworks Justin Fields

Breakin' Wax:2021 Prizm Draft Football Hanger Box

2021 was much better for me when it came to opening up wax. I was able to find some, trade for some, etc when I had that itch. It may not have always something I was dying to open, but it was something and I will take that over the nothing that was 2020.

I don't have the picture of the box I opened today, but I do have the most important parts, the contents.

 

Some of the rookies I found.

And two surprise rookies as well. I must have opened up a few of these hangers/blaster/packs and never once pulled either of these guys. Then I find both right in this break. I won't complain.

I think these are called Green Waves. Pretty cool looking regardless of name.

 

And my break ends with some green parallels.

Nothing overly exciting to brag about. I do like the Fields and Lawrence adds to the rookie PC, but other than that, not much here for me.

Hope everyone has a great Thursday and I welcome your thoughts on this break below!!

Breakin' Wax:2021 Prestige Football Blaster Box

Finally! I found some new football cards that is not Leaf or Sage. Some real football cards, sorry Leaf and Sage. I am more into licensed cards and not unlicensed when it comes to my football collecting.

I was able to secure down a blaster box of 2021 Prestige which is one of my favorite early season releases.

Let's see how it went.

8 Packs of 8 cards per pack. No hit guarantees anymore in blaster boxes I guess other than 3 Diamond Parallels. Blaster boxes of Prestige are $27.99 which is steep. I hope this isn't a sign of things to come.

 

 

Here is how I did,

  

Not too bad of a break. Got a couple of key rookies which is why I wanted it in the first place, though I did want a Kadarius Toney from the Giants.

I hope to find more down the road, wouldn't mind opening up another but was lucky to find this one since flippers are taking them all.

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.

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.

Breakin' Wax:2021 Panini Prizm Draft Football Blaster Box

 Finding football cards in retail outlets is like finding that onion ring in your Burger King fries order, it doesn't happen very often. But, it can.

I have been fortunate on and off to be able to open some of the newer products because of my father and some trading. But, believe me, I am not or will not give up my soul to get something to rip. Even though sometimes it is very tempting. 

Today, I am ripping one of the latest football releases in Prizm Draft. I am not an overly huge fan of college football products, but I like to chase the top rookie cards so I will take it for that reason alone. And the Giants drafted a first round WR I am collecting cards of as well.

Every 2021 Prizm Draft football blaster box only comes with 30 cards which is 6 packs of 5 cards. There are no hit guarantees and only thing you can find is a Purple Wave refractor which falls one-per-blaster. Blasters cost $20 per unless you buy from a flipper, then it's $40.

Daniel Jones! This was my only NY Giants base card in my break.

Justin Fields All-American, this was the best base rookie (yes I know it's a subset so technically not rookie) I found.

Best Crusade I found was Micah Parsons.

 

This was my purple wave find. Not anyone I know but I do know some Texas fans I can probably trade this to.

 

Green Prizms I found.

 

Daniel Jones green parallel. Nice PC find!

 

And finally, probably the "best pull" of the box was this Mac Jones Crusade Silver. I believe this guy will be the best QB of this draft. He is by far on the best team and situation out of the rookie QB's. Not that I want any Patriot QB succeeding.

That's it for this break. I won't complain too much with some Daniel Jones cards and the Mac Jones.
