Normally I don't ever tell someone what to collect or not to collect other than posting the good, the bad and the ugly of box breaks to let people decide for themselves.
But, as a public service message, I would advise stayting away from the new Panini Chronicles NBA product.
I've husted a total of five blasters and have received many cards with noticeable corner damage right out of the pack.
(Especially the Essentials subset ... usually one of my favorites.)
I always look forward to the retail exclusive Rookies & Stars inserts in the blasters but have received most with noticeable chipping on the back ... some of that is Panini's ever inexplicable reliance on colored borders, some of it is just plain bad quality control.
But now that Panini reportedly isn't even accepting most damage claims, you are pretty much stuck with what you're stuck with.
So - buyer beware.
