Always Room for Chronicles

And there's even more room for discounted Chronicles. 

I picked up some baseball as well, but with the finals on as I write this, it seems more appropriate to do this. There's a couple finalists on the pack, with Mathurin being obvious. Jalen Williams is also there, albeit hidden by the sticker.

And speaking of Williams, here's a couple cards of Williams - one Jalen and one Jaylin. I would really love seeing Luminance come to basketball as a standalone set to bring some more full-bleed content to collections. Photogenic is nice, but you can never have too much full-bleed.

It's a Jalen Williams hot pack! He makes his second appearance here on one of the two teal parallels in the pack. Just the foil portion gets the treatment, so it isn't exactly easy to differentiate between that. Fortunately the Duran is far easier to see its a parallel. I'll be revisiting the two Classics entries after the second pack to show off the Facts on the Back as a group.

Pack 2 brings the only Raptors content of the packs - a Koloko dupe.

But I prefer getting dupes of cards I'd had long(ish) ago, to getting dupes from the previous pack. But a second Teal parallel of Jalen Williams also arrives at the right time. And it contrasts nicely with the base card in the previous pack. Also, 8 Thunder cards over two packs. These definitely would have been better received in Oklahoma vs. Ontario. 

Also: All three Teal parallels were of someone named Jalen.

Finally, the Classics factoids. Stats are nice, but Branham's love for non-specific breakfast food is more interesting.

And there you have it!
