What's Buzz-worthy: I have a larger box of this one to bust here, but I just don't want to sort it all yet -- there's just so much in this brand -- so here's a smaller box that's also loaded but not quite as crazy. What is Chronicles? Well, if you don't know it's an all-in-one approach that gives you a small volume of players presented in several different brands all in one spot -- a formula that's fun and can deliver big if you land the right names over and over ... in any sport. As I noted last time, numbering-wise, it's all one set but to me it feels like a Chronicles base set and then the rest feel like inserts because of the variety of the stock and looks. Pink parallels and Prizm parallels are the inserts here and you get a few in these boxes -- but other colors and a ton more in other formats so you should consider them (hit that link up top). Over time the easier pulls found here will get cheaper -- no doubt -- but the quality of stuff here simply from a collector standpoint is unmatched, especially if you're a college football fan. If you're collecting or not all that worried about cash returns, rip these all day long ... they are a lot of fun.

Product Grade: A
Box Grade: A-
Fun Grade: A- (boxes should be larger ... and all sets in this one should be, too)
