Frequently asked
What makes 2022 Illusions worth opening?
You're guaranteed three autographs and two memorabilia cards per box, plus ten acetate or micro-etch inserts. The rookie class is strong, with Kenny Pickett, Desmond Ridder, Malik Willis, Garrett Wilson, and Drake London all featured on premium autograph cards.
What are the key rookie autographs to chase?
First Impressions Autographed Memorabilia cards are the main draw, featuring 2022 draft picks with jersey swatches. Rookie Reflections Dual Patch Autographs pair two rookies together and are even scarcer. Kenny Pickett, Desmond Ridder, Malik Willis, Garrett Wilson, and Drake London are among the most sought.
How do the Trophy Collection parallels work?
Base cards pull five Trophy Collection parallels per box, ranging from common versions like Bronze (/499) and Pink (/399) down to rare tiers like Black Ice (/50), Platinum (/35), and 1/1 Purple. Hobby boxes also get exclusive Trophy Collection Wild Card versions that feature a current player with a retired legend.
What's new in 2022 Illusions?
Funkadelic is a new acetate insert set with vibrant color parallels. Operation Detonation is a new micro-etch insert. Trophy Collection Wild Card versions are hobby-exclusive and pair current stars with NFL legends on micro-etch stock.
What's the base set like?
The base set is modest at 100 cards, focusing on stars and key rookies. Cards feature dual photos on the front and come in multiple Trophy Collection parallel versions. Hobby base cards are printed on thicker stock with gold foil.
Are there veteran autographs?
Yes. Limelight Signatures feature veteran ink from players like Aaron Rodgers, Justin Herbert, Josh Allen, and Patrick Mahomes. These are separate from the rookie-focused First Impressions and Rookie Reflections sets.
What's HoloHeroes?
HoloHeroes is a throwback hologram insert set featuring NFL stars like Tom Brady. It's a hobby-exclusive case hit with only Gold (/10) parallels, making it one of the toughest pulls in the product.
