Phoenix is rising once again. 2017 Panini Phoenix Football ($112 per box with 2 Autographs and 2 Jerseys) arrives WEDNESDAY at Sport Cards Plus. And your 2017 Phoenix Football box purchase gets you TWO FREE PANINI KICKOFF PACKS. Once again, bold designs, autographs and memorabilia cards are among the draws.

2017 Panini Phoenix Football Base Set
The 2017 Panini Phoenix Football base set has a total of 200 cards. Sixty-five are veteran stars currently in the NFL. Another 35 are retired legends.
The remaining half of the set is all rookies. Inserted approximately one per pack, this makes them short prints. That said, they shouldn’t be too tough to track down for anyone aiming for the full set.
Parallels include nine tiers serial numbered to 299 copies or less. These are inserted about one per pack. New to 2017 Panini Phoenix Football are Color Burst parallels. Not numbered, these are exclusive to one-per-box hot packs. All cards in these packs are Color Burst versions.
Autographs and Memorabilia Cards
For those who chase hits, each 2017 Panini Phoenix Football hobby box has a pair of autographs and one memorabilia card.
Autographed relics featuring the year’s rookie crop are one of the premium cards. These come in three general themes:
1. Rookie Auto Jersey cards are numbered to 299 or less highlighting the 40 RPS players.
2. These same first-year standouts are included on Rookie Jumbo Auto Swatch cards. A little tougher to pull, these come numbered to 199 or less.
3.Finally, there are 20 Hot Rookie Material Signatures, which can include different relics rather than traditional jersey swatches.
Each case of 2017 Panini Phoenix Football has either a Dual or Triple Autograph Patch card with signatures and memorabilia from multiple players. All come numbered no higher than 30. The Dual Autograph Patch checklist has 20 different cards while the three-player version has ten cards.
