Frequently asked
What are the key rookie cards in this set?

How many autographs come in a hobby box?
One autograph is guaranteed per box. All autographs are rookie-only, with 32 signers on the checklist. Each auto comes with six parallel tiers ranging from /99 Green Sapphire down to 1/1 Padparadscha.
What's the difference between Padparadscha and Superfractor parallels?
Both are one-of-one cards, but Padparadscha appears on players who already have Chrome Update Superfractors, while Superfractors go to cards not in the Chrome Update base set. Padparadscha pulls at 1:424 packs and Superfractors at 1:565 packs.
What are the numbered parallel tiers for base cards?
Base parallels are Gold Sapphire (/50), Orange Sapphire (/25), Black Sapphire (/10), and Red Sapphire (/5). You're also chasing the one-of-one Padparadscha and Superfractor versions. Every hobby box includes three numbered parallels.
