2018 Panini Limited Football marks another installment for one of the hobby’s earliest high-end brands. It has evolved from the early days of foil into something more modern. And in the high-end sphere, that means autographs and memorabilia cards.
Each three-pack box of 2018 Panini Limited Football has a pair of autographs plus one memorabilia card. Of these, one is a Rookie Patch Autograph.
2018 Panini Limted Football Overview
The product starts with a 100-card base set highlighting NFL veterans. Parallels come in Silver Spotlight (/99), Gold Spotlight (/49), Ruby Spotlight (/25), Amethyst Spotlight (/10), Emerald Spotlight (/5) and Sapphire Spotlight (1/1).
The one-per-box Rookie Patch Autographs have on-card signatures and come in a couple of different forms. Base versions have 299 copies or less with Silver Spotlight (/75), Gold Spotlight (/50), Ruby Spotlight (/10), Emerald Spotlight (/5) and Sapphire Spotlight (1/1) parallels. More than 30 rookies are on the checklist.
Select players also have Rookie Patch Autograph Variations (/199 or less). Parallels come in similar forms as the regular cards only with smaller quantities for the more common ones. None of the RPA parallels are numbered higher the 25 copies.
More Autographs and Memorabilia
