Opened up a value pack of 2021-22 Chronicles and a hanger box of 2023-24 Select basketball.
Pack 1 (Chronicles)
Base - Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, LaMelo Ball (Essentials)
Rookies - Moses Moody, Josh Giddey, Keon Johnson (Threads), Kai Jones (Prestige), Herbert Jones (Threads), Chris Duarte (Absolute), Alperen Sengun (Luminance), Usman Garuba (Playbook), Herbert Jones (Absolute), Tre Mann (Marquee), Jose Alvarado (Prizm), Cade Cunningham (Classics), Jonathan Kuminga (Classics)
Pack 2 (Select Hanger)
Base - Paul George, Jaylen Brown
Blue Base - James Harden, Cade Cunningham, Jamal Murray, Michael Porter Jr., Bam Adebayo, Karl-Anthony Towns, Jayson Tatum, Alperen Sengun, Scottie Barnes
Blue Rookies - Gradey Dick, Noah Clowney, Kobe Brown
Blue Prizm Rookie - Dereck Lively II
Green White Purple Prizm - Zion Williamson
Tectonic Prizm Rookie - Anthony Black
Tectonic Prizm - Joel Embiid
Thunder Lane - Amen Thompson
Gold Tectonic Prizm - Devin Booker /10
So the Chronicles box was nothing to write home about. I liked that it included a lot of other subsets in it so I got to see a lot of different things. Also, I'm not sure I'd ever heard of Essentials and I thought that LaMelo Ball was a cool looking card. At first I thought it was some kind of insert until I turned it over to see the work "Essentials" down in the brand line.
The box of 2023-24 Select, on the other hand...even without the Devin Booker, I loved this product. The cards look nice and there are a multitude of different variations of the same player. I definitely wouldn't want to try to chase this set, but I could see myself opening another one of these if I get the itch and can't find anything else. As for the Booker, though, what a sweet looking card! Those tectonic prizms are awesome, and that gold really pops on this one. Also, it's tough to beat getting a card numbered /10 from a hanger box, and especially one of a decent player.
Everything is for trade except for the Booker.
Here's a picture of some of my favorite cards from these packs, and also a solo picture of the Booker.
