2013 Panini Football Cards Boxes

So much about collecting has changed since the venerable Rookies & Stars Football brand first hit the scene back in 1998. Thriving for 15 years in any industry is a remarkable accomplishment by itself, but doing so in the hyper-competitive, hyper-creative sports card hobby is worthy of a lifetime achievement award. But when Panini America releases 2013 Rookies & Stars Football in late August, here’s betting collectors will find it award-winning for myriad other reasons.




For starters, there’s the return to glory of the landmark Crusade insert, which will bring back the authentic hypotnic designs and printing technology that made those original 1998 gems instant classics. There’s also the return of the unique Rookie Premiere Slideshow Signatures insert . . . and Team Chemistry dual-signed cards . . . and Rookie Materials Signatures . . . and Game Plan and Touchdown Club . . . and so much more.





Each hobby box (eight cards per pack, 24 packs per box) of 2013 Rookies & Stars Football will deliver four autograph or memorabilia cards (at least two autographs guaranteed), 24 Rookie Cards, six parallels, two Statistical Standouts, two Touchdown Club, two Game Plan, two Crusade and two additional inserts or parallels.



Among the product’s additional highlights . . .




Rookie Materials Signatures highlight the best 2013 rookies with collectible Longevity and Team Logo foil -background versions.

All Rookie Premiere Slideshow Signatures will be numbered to 125 or less.

All Team Chemistry cards will be numbered to 99 or less.
