2020-21 Panini Chronicles Basketball Blaster Box Break
Over the past several months, the frenzied pursuit of new retail product has subsided quite a bit, yet certain sets remain difficult to come by. Released in late 2021, 2020-21 Panini Chronicles Basketball proved somewhat elusive as stores loosened their purchasing restrictions, but online options emerged making boxes available to those unable to locate any in-store.
Here are the highlights from a blaster box containing eight packs with five cards per pack. Blaster exclusives include Pink parallels and base Rookies and Stars.

The Chronicles line continues as a popular basketball offering, providing collectors the opportunity to pull a plethora of rookies in a variety of styles. In this case, however, with the recent uptick in blaster prices into the $25+ area, the buyer is basically getting what he/she paid for. Out of the 40 cards, there is a definite lack of even a moderate hit, with all the card values trending in single digits, with even the LaMelo rookies checking in at under $10 apiece
