Frequently asked
What are the key rookie cards in this set?
The big rookie names are Anthony Richardson, C.J. Stroud, Bijan Robinson, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, and Jordan Addison. They appear in the base set and are heavily featured in the First Impressions Autographed Memorabilia insert set, which is the main chase for most collectors.
How many autographs come in a hobby box?
You'll get 3 autographs per box on average. These come from First Impressions (rookie autos with memorabilia), Rookie Signs, and Elusive Ink (hard-to-get veteran and retired player signatures).
What's the design concept behind Illusions?
The base design uses foil as the foundation with a close-up shot floating in the background, creating a double-vision or layered effect. It's meant to make you see different things depending on the angle you're looking at the card.
What are Trophy Collection parallels?
Trophy Collection is the parallel theme for the base set, with multiple color versions (Red, Blue, Yellow Diamond, etc.) and numbered tiers ranging from /499 down to 1/1 Purple and Super Bowl versions. You'll pull about 5 numbered Trophy parallels per box.
What inserts should I be hunting?
Holo Heroes is the toughest pull and most sought-after insert. King of Cards and Illusionists are also popular. Every box includes about 10 acetate or microetched inserts or parallels, so you'll get a decent mix of insert hits.
Is there a difference between hobby and retail versions?
Yes. The hobby base cards are printed on thicker cardstock with gold names on the front. Retail versions have black names on the front and are listed as a separate set.
How many cards are in the base set?
The base set is 100 cards, but when you include the First Impressions Autographed Memorabilia subset (#101-142), the full set totals 134 cards.

It dropped March 13, 2024.
