I HAVE BEEN MORE SELECTIVE IN MY CHRONICLES PURCHASES LATELY BECAUSE I STEADFASTLY REFUSE TO GET A SOLID LIST OF WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO PICK UP. THIS IS MOSTLY BECAUSE THE STUFF I DON'T HAVE MUCH OF IS FROM THE SUBSETS I DON'T LIKE. THE IDEA OF A COMPREHENSIVE CHRONICLES BINDER WITHA PAGE PER DESIGN IS STARTING TO FADE DUE TO MY LAZINESS. THE SHINY CARDS ARE STILL GETTING BOUGHT THOUGH. HOO BOY ARE THEY GETTING BOUGHT. HERE'S A MASSIVE DUMP OF CHRONICLES SHINY BECAUSE I'M WAY BEHIND IN POSTING AND I DON'T HAVE TIME TO MAKE THIS THREE DIFFERENT POSTS
2022 CHRONICLES BASE CLAYTON KERSHAW
A BASE CARD IS TECHNICALLY NOT SHINY, BUT WE LIVE IN A CENTURY WHERE TWO PITCHERS PER DECADE MAXIMUM ARE ALLOWED TO BE ELECTED TO THE HALL OF FAME. CLAYTON'S ONE OF THOSE GUYS FOR THE 00S SO THIS GETS HONORABLE SHINY STATUS
2022 CHRONICLES CLEARLY DONRUSS JOSE RAMIREZ
I CONTINUE TO BE HELPLESS IN THE FACE OF CLEAR CARDS
2022 CHRONICLES CERTIFIED FREDDIE FREEMAN
CERTIFIED IS LOW-RENT SHINY TO ME. IT'S THE LIGHT BLUE PROPERTIES ON THE CHRONICLES MONOPOLY BOARD. HOLOFOIL FREDERICK IS CLASSY THOUGH, HE ADDS A HOTEL ON VERMONT AVENUE
2022 CHRONICLES TITAN VIDAL BRUJAN, JAKE MEYERS, JAKE BURGER, CHAS MCCORMICK, COREY SEAGER, HANS CROUSE
THESE WERE MY FIRST TITAN CARDS FROM 2022. WHILE I PREFER THE 2021 DESIGN THESE ONES WITH A SPACEPORT WINDOW MOTIF ARE STILL PRETTY COOL. COREY SEAGER IS THE GEM AMONGST A PILE OF MOSTLY OK ROOKIE CARDS
2022 CHRONICLES SPECTRA CHRISTIAN YELICH, GARY SANCHEZ, BRANDON WOODRUFF
I'VE REALLY COME TO LOVE THE SPECTRA SET SIMPLY BECAUSE YOU CAN FIND A GOOD VARIETY OF ACTUAL GOOD BASEBALL PLAYERS INSTEAD OF THE USUAL CHRONICLES CHECKLIST OF THREE STARS AND EVERY ROOKIE THEY CAN FIND. I KEEP BUYING CHRISTIAN YELICH CARDS EVERY TIME I SEE THEM AND AS A RESULT I THINK I HAVE AT LEAST THREE DOUBLES OF HIS CARDS
2022 CHRONICLES SPECTRA ROBBIE RAY PRIZM
SPECTRA REALLY LOOKS GREAT ON THE PRIZM CARDS. THIS IS TRUE OF PRETTY MUCH EVERY CHROMIUM CARD EVER THOUGH. SEATTLE DONE ROBBIE DIRTY, TRADING HIM WHILE REHABBING TOMMY JOHN SURGERY
2019-20 CHRONICLES HOMETOWN HEROES KAHWI LEONARD
RANDOM HOOPS CARD OUTTA NOWHERE! I WAS VERY HAPPY TO SEE HOMETOWN HEROES HAS SOMEHOW SURVIVED. A LITTLE LESS HAPPY TO SEE IT ON CHROMIUM CARD STOCK BUT HEY I'LL TAKE WHAT I CAN GET. I DON'T HAVE A TON OF KAWHI CARDS SO IT'S NICE TO GT A FUTURE HALL OF FAMER INTO THE COLLECTION
2022 CHRONICLES CONTENDERS OPTIC JAKE MEYERS
BORING OL CONTENDERS, HO HUM
2022 CHRONICLES CONTENDERS OPTIC PATRICK MAZEIKA PRIZM
SHINY OL CONTENDERS, A LITTLE BETTER
2022 CHRONICLES CONTENDERS OPTIC ALEJO LOPEZ UHH X-FRACTOR?
FLASHY SHINY OL CONTENDERS, NOW THAT'S THE TICKET. I ALSO GOT THE BASE VERSION OF ALEJO LOPEZ'S CARD SINCE HE ENDED UP IN THE BRAVES ORGANIZATION BUT NO ONE NEEDS TO SEE THAT
2021 CHRONICLES CRUSADE PURPLE SQUARES TREVOR ROGERS
I HOPE YOU LIKE PURPLE SQUARES BECAUSE I MANAGED TO GET TO A BUNCH OF THEM BEFORE EVERYONE ELSE. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE ACTUAL NAME FOR THIS PARALLEL IS BUT I BET IT WAS AN EXCLUSIVE RETAIL INSERT IN FAT PACKS OR BLASTERS. NORMALLY I LIKE THE SHINY STUFF BUT I FEEL LIKE THE CRUSADE DESIGN IS TOO GOOD FOR SUCH FRIVOLITY AND THIS JUST DISTRACTS
2021 CHRONICLES PHOENIX PURPLE SQUARES LOGAN GILBERT, KRIS BRYANT
PHOENIX ISN'T A GREAT DESIGN TO BEGIN WITH SO THE PURPLE SQUARES ADD A BIT OF FLAVOR. I WASN'T EXPECTING LOGAN GILBERT TO BE THE BETTER PLAYER OF THIS PAIR BUT HE IS
2021 CHRONICLES OVERDRIVE PURPLE SQUARES PETE ALONSO, BRENT HONEYWELL, JAVIER BAEZ
PURPLE SQUARES IS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT FOR THE VAPORWAVE SET THOUGH. THE WHOLE SET SHOULD BE LIKE THIS. THESE ARE GREAT CARDS TO JUST STARE AT UNTIL YOU COMPLETELY DISSOCIATE. OLD FRIEND JAVIER BAEZ POPS UP AGAIN, I'M PRETTY CERTAIN I HAVE MORE OF HIS CHRONICLES CARDS THAN ANY OTHER PLAYER
2022 CHRONICLES ESSENTIALS NICK LODOLO
I THOUGHT THIS WAS MY FIRST ESSENTIALS CARD UNTIL I SORTED THESE INTO THE CHRONICLES BOX AND DISCOVERED I ALREADY HAD ONE... OF WANDER FRANCO. SO GLAD I FINALLY HAVE A 2022 CHRONICLES ESSENTIALS CARD!
2022 CHRONICLES MARQUEE GLENN OTTO
THIS ACTUALLY IS MY FIRST MARQUEE CARD THOUGH. I ASSOCIATE THIS SET WITH THE CHEAPEST TRAE YOUNG CARDS IN THE HAWKS BOX AT THE LCS SO I'M A BIT CONFUSED SEEING A PITCHER ON THE CARD. IT DOESN'T HELP THAT THE BASEBALL IN THE DESIGN IS BASKETBALL COLORED
2020 CHRONICLES UNPARALLELED BOBBY BRADLEY
THIS IS THE FIRST UNPARALLELED CARD I'VE SEEN AND SINCE IT'S A RETAIL ONLY SUBSET IT'S PROBABLY NOT SUPER EASY TO FIND. IRONICALLY THE UNPARALLELED SET HAS SIX DIFFERENT PARALLELS
2022 CHRONICLES OBSIDIAN CHRISTIAN YELICH, SALVADOR PEREZ
OBSIDIAN IS BY FAR MY FAVORITE CHRONICLES SET AND I SNAP THEM UP IMMEDIATELY WHEN I SEE THEM. TOO QUICKLY IN FACT AS THIS YELICH IS ONE OF THOSE DOUBLES I WAS TALKING ABOUT EARLIER. I NEEDED SAL AT LEAST
2020 PANINI CHRONICLES OBSIDIAN JAVIER BAEZ
THE JAVY BAEZ CHRONICLES COUNTER GOES UP BY ONE AGAIN. THE 2020 OBSIDIAN DESIGN LOOKS FRIGGIN FANTASTIC. LOTS OF SHINY STRIPES EVERYWHERE. I'M BUMMED OUT I DIDN'T LEAVE THE HOUSE IN 2020 NOW TO HUNT FOR PACKS OF CHRONICLES AT THE TARGET THAT BANNED TRADING CARDS BECAUSE OF IDIOT FLIPPERS CAUSING RIOTS
2021 OBSIDIAN FOOTBALL MEKHI SARGENT
NOT A CHRONICLES CARD, AND NOT A PLAYER I KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT, AND NOT A SPORT I EVEN REALLY COLLECT ANYMORE. BUT WHO CARES, OBSIDIAN RULES. THIS MIGHT BE THE BEST DESIGN OF THE BUNCH
2021 CHRONICLES OBSIDIAN CHRISTIAN YELICH
FINISHING UP WITH YET ANOTHER YELICH CARD. THESE 2021 OBSIDIAN CARDS ARE PROBABLY THE ONES THAT KICKSTARTED MY CHRONICLES OBSESSION WHEN I FOUND SOME IN A QUARTER BOX ONE FATEFUL DAY. I STILL THINK THIS IS THE BEST OF THE BASEBALL DESIGNS BUT I'VE ONLY SEEN THREE OF THEM SO FAR
UP NEXT: BACK TO NORMAL WITH SOME CHAOS

Nice to see Panini carried the Hometown Heroes line over to basketball. It's one of the handful of Panini baseball products I actually went out of my way to buy.
The older I get the less I like the lack of logos in panini baseball brands
