2020-21 Panini Chronicles Box Break

Cruising through the grocery stores today actually led me to a rarity – an actual physical retail product for sale. I really have only bought retail 4-5 times since the pandemic started. Most of the time I’ll support my local hobby shop but I can’t bring myself to buy marked-up second-hand retail boxes.

In any case, there’s probably a reason why there was plenty of 2020-21 Panini Chronicles blasters available – there just isn’t anything that good in the set. Granted, you will find plenty of rookies and veterans in the set but they just aren’t valued that highly. The retail version of Chronicles is a collection of various Panini sets including:

• Chronicles
• Prestige
• Threads
• Panini
• Luminance
• Playbook
• Donruss Rated Rookie
• Essentials
• Marquee
• XR

There’s also no guarantee of autos or relics of any kind so be prepared if you’re looking only for high-end quality.

Here’s a breakdown of the two blasters we were able to pick up:

8 packs per blaster / 5 cards per pack
