Frequently asked
What are the key rookie autographs in this product?
The Rookie Jersey Autographs set (#201-240) is the main draw, featuring the 2020 draft class. LaMelo Ball, Anthony Edwards, and Tyrese Haliburton are among the most sought-after, with Cole Anthony being the scarcest at /49 (others are /99). Each has Electric Etch parallels down to 1/1 White Mojo.
How many autographs do you get per box?
You're guaranteed 2 autographs per box. They can be from Rookie Jersey Autographs, Rookie Jersey Ink, Aurora Autographs, Galaxy Autographs, Lightning Strike Signatures, Volcanic Signatures, Onyx Autographs, or Matrix Material Autos.
What makes Obsidian different from Prizm or Donruss Optic?
Obsidian uses a dark opti-chrome design instead of the silver backdrop found in other brands. With just one pack of seven cards per box, it's a much faster break than Prizm or Optic, and the higher autograph concentration (2 per box) makes it a premium product.
What are Electric Etch parallels?
Electric Etch cards use outlines and contrasting rainbows to showcase the design, avoiding thick borders and solid backgrounds. They come in multiple colors (Purple /99, Orange /50, Green /25, Yellow /10, Red /5) plus special tiers like Blue FOTL /16 and White Mojo 1/1.
Are there any veteran autographs besides rookies?
Yes. Aurora Autographs feature established stars and Hall of Famers like Luka Doncic, Kevin Durant, Magic Johnson, and Jamal Murray. Matrix Material Autos also showcase veteran talent. These are numbered and typically scarcer than the rookie sets.
What's the base set size?
The base set is 240 cards total. Cards 1-200 are veterans and established players, while 201-240 are the Rookie Jersey Autographs, making the base itself a mix of regular cards and signed rookies.
How do the die-cut inserts work?
Obsidian features several die-cut designs: Pitch Black, Vitreous, Supernova, and the new Eclipse (which uses a horizontal layout). These are separate from the autograph sets and add visual variety to the product.
