Frequently asked
What's the main draw of 2021 Contenders Football?
Rookie Ticket autographs are the cornerstone. They're base rookie cards with on-card signatures from the 2021 draft class, and they're historically among the most popular rookie autos outside of super-premium products.
How many autographs come in a hobby box?
Five total. One is an on-card signature, and the other four are additional autographs (typically off-card or from insert sets). That's a strong hit rate for the price point.
What are the key rookie names to chase?
Trevor Lawrence, Zach Wilson, Trey Lance, Kyle Pitts, Ja'Marr Chase, Jaylen Waddle, DeVonta Smith, Justin Fields, and Mac Jones are among the top 2021 draft prospects featured as Rookie Ticket RPS autographs.
What new inserts debut in 2021?
Supernatural and Gladiators are the main new non-autograph inserts. You'll also find Chain Movers and Power Players. The ticket theme carries through most of the design language.
What parallel tiers are in the base set?
Season Ticket base cards have Playoff Ticket (/199), Championship Ticket (/99), Cracked Ice (/21), and Super Bowl Ticket (1/1). Rookie Ticket RPS parallels go deeper with Clear Ticket, Ticket Stub, and Reverse versions, plus the same numbered tiers.
Are there any Hall of Famer autographs?
Yes. Contenders to Canton Autographs feature gold jacket inductees with images of both their first Contenders card and their Hall of Fame induction. Legendary Coaches Ticket is another autograph theme.
What's the base set size?
293 cards total. That includes 100 veterans (Season Ticket), 42 Rookie Ticket RPS, 160 regular Rookie Tickets, and 6 Coaches Ticket cards, plus variations and autograph subsets.
When did 2021 Panini Contenders come out?
It dropped March 9, 2022.
