22-23 Chronicles Basketball: Saw these for the first time at Target and picked up a pack. Luka Doncic kicks it off on this Base Hoops Premium card. Hoops Premium cards were a thing a few years back. Nice card and design. Not sure about the look on Doncic's face but it was a frustrating year for him and the Mavericks.
This is the base Chronicles design. It's okay and what we're used to from Chronicles. Need a logo somewhere on the fronts. Pretty good pull amongst veterans and rookies in this pack. Young is an established star though he and the Hawks need to figure things out soon. Lauri Markkanen had a breakout season for the Utah Jazz.
Luminance and XR designs. Luminance isn't bad but XR isn't my thing. Chronicles is a rookie heavy release. That first card is a teal parallel.
Chet Holmgren and Paulo Banchero are the rookies to pull here. Banchero was the Rookie of the Year and there's high expectations for Holmgren who missed the season due to injury.
Luminance, Marquee and Vertex. Vertex is pretty cool and I like Marquee as well. We'll end it with Giannis.

I feel like you pull a lot of Bachheros!
ReplyDelete100% agree. Not a bad thing but feels odd to get so many of a top rookie.
