This is the latest in the continued evolution of Fanatics boxes, as the company expands its offerings within card releases to include more of the wide-ranging reach of products and collectibles at its disposal. These boxes have been quite popular in other releases, and it's not hard to imagine they will be sought-after in what is their Chrome debut.
Collectors can get early access on the Fanatics App until Monday, July 14.
