Random Wax: 2021 Chronicles Football

2021 Chronicles Football: This guy, yeah this guy, will be front and center in the Super Bowl today.  I'm excited for him and the Bengals.  Burrow is definitely one of the top young quarterbacks in the league and Cincy fans have suffered for  a very long time.  I've always liked the Gridiron Kings vibe so pulling this card last June was fun.  Especially since I had been on a Joe Burrow dry spell in 2021 packs.

The base design is a bit blah.  Should have put the team logo in that helmet not the Chronicle "C".  I do like to see retired greats included in the set.

Young players always play a big part of this set and 10 of the 15 cards were rookies.  Taylor and Shenault are both good pulls.  There was a gold parallel somewhere in this pack.  Did I not scan it?  Can I not see it in the scan?  I'll never know.

Some acetate action with this Clear Vision insert. Swift has been a solid running back for the Lions.

Would like to see Jerry Jeudy with a quality starting quarterback to see what he can really do.  Even without a top notch QB in Denver he's been good for the Broncos.  Maybe this was the gold parallel?  I'd be guessing.

The variety of Chronicles makes it an easy like for me.  Fun pack of cards highlighted by a starting quarterback in the Super Bowl.  Can't beat that.  Go Bengals!

Random Wax: 2021 Chronicles Football

2021 Chronicles Football:  Let's kick off another one of these packs with a retired great.  Moon was not only great but he also got to wear the cool Houston Oilers unis.  Would have liked to see the colored jersey top but I'm still good with this look.

These are the Chronicles cards but there is so much more to this set.

So many other brands included in this set.  You have to love the variety.  

This Omega is a nice looking card.  I like the colors and how the football strings are incorporated in the design.

The Panini design is a bit boring so a few less of these would have been okay.  Chronicles even has Prizm Black as part of the brand.  Fun pack and decent pull.

2021 Chronicles Football Hanger Box

 2021 Chronicles Football: Found these in the wild so I picked up a hanger and some packs.  Overall I like the base design seen here.  Pulling a Jim Kelly was exciting and a great add to my PC.  

Good pull from this box.  Couldn't find the checklist but I'm assuming the base cards where you'll find veterans isn't too big.

The rest of the set is made up of young players across different Panini designs.  Gridiron Kings is always a favorite of mine and these are nice looking cards. 

Luminance, Legacy Rookies and Panini inserts.  The Legacy Rookie is a a shiny card and looks good in hand.

That backs aren't that great and have no stat lines.  

Classics come in these hanger packs.  They are okay but not overly exciting.  

Trying to remember the right word for these types of cards but they are see through.  I think folks into those will enjoy these cards.  Overall a fun box and I enjoy the variety the different designs give you.  I would like to see the veterans across the different designs but this isn't what this set is about.
