Frequently asked
What's the main draw of 2022 Panini Absolute?
You're guaranteed one autograph per pack, so a 3-pack hobby box averages 3 autos. That's a heavy hit rate compared to most football products. Add in Kaboom, one of the sport's most popular inserts, and you've got a product built around chase and memorabilia.
Who are the key 2022 rookies?
Kenny Pickett, Malik Willis, Desmond Ridder, Matt Corral, and Bailey Zappe lead the QB class. On the skill side, you've got Garrett Wilson, Drake London, Jameson Williams, Chris Olave, and Jahan Dotson. Every rookie gets a Rookie Premiere Materials Autograph card in the set.
What's Kaboom and why do people hunt it?
Kaboom is a short-print insert that averages 1 per 12-box case. It features top stars and legends with a bold design. Hobby boxes get exclusive Gold (/10) and Green (1/1) parallels, making it a real chase card for collectors.
How do the parallels work?
Base cards come in a ton of parallel versions, from common colored parallels (Blue, Green, Orange, Red, Purple, Yellow) to numbered tiers like Red Spectrum (/100), Gold Spectrum (/10), and 1/1 Black Spectrum or Printing Plates. You'll pull about 2 parallels per hobby box.
What's the base set size?
The base set is 242 cards total. It's split evenly: 100 veterans (#1-100), 100 rookies (#101-200), and 42 Rookie Premiere Materials Autographs (#201-242). The rookie cards are serial numbered to 275, so there's some scarcity built in.
Are there other autograph inserts besides Rookie Premiere?
Yes. Tools of the Trade comes with 2-3 swatches and autograph versions (hobby-exclusive). Historical Duals pairs two former teammates and are limited to /25 or less. You'll also hit random additional autographs in the box, so the 3-per-box average can vary.
What other inserts should I know about?
Explosive is another short-print insert similar to Kaboom with hobby-exclusive parallels. Glass is a case hit featuring rookies and stars with an etched glass look. There's also By Storm, Draft Diamonds, Introductions, Last Call, and Star Gazing, though those are less chased.
When did 2022 Panini Absolute come out?
It dropped December 2, 2022.
What's in a 2022 Panini Absolute hobby box?
