What's Buzz-worthy: My second one of these was just slightly different in the mix this time adding Donruss and shuffling some of the volumes on other cards. End result? Basically the same thanks to appearances from a couple of top rookies and then appearances from some notable veterans, too. ... The annual all-in-one release that is Chronicles arrived for the NBA a bit later than perhaps normal but it's still a fun, solid one to break in any format for a collector. If you land the right names more than once you can come out ahead if you find stuff at SRP like I did. The variety here didn't seem as deep as it was in previous versions but that may just be with this being a smaller box. The Classics cards are only found in these hangers, while Green is the exclusive parallel color here, too. Red autos are also in play here for a few sets but that shouldn't be expected in every box. These aren't the flashiest of breaks if you're ripping for big mojo hits or cash, but they are fun.

Product Grade: A-
Box Grade: A (Edwards, Ball and other notables)
Fun Grade: B+ (good variety but it feels like there has been more in past)
