Frequently asked
What are the key rookie cards in 2020 Obsidian?
The big three are Joe Burrow, Tua Tagovailoa, and Justin Herbert. All three have Rookie Jersey Autographs numbered to 100, plus base rookie cards and other autograph inserts. The 2020 class was deep, so you'll also find Chase Young, Justin Jefferson, and CeeDee Lamb as sought-after rookies.
How many hits do I get per box?
Each hobby box has exactly four hits out of seven cards. That's four autographs or memorabilia cards guaranteed, plus two inserts or parallels, and just one base card.
What's the deal with Electric Etch parallels?
Electric Etch is the parallel system that applies to base cards and inserts. There are six tiers based on colored etching: Contra (one per case), Purple /100, Orange /75, Green /50, Yellow /25, Red /10, and Blue Finite 1/1. The rarest versions are case hits or one-of-ones.
Is this product all about rookies?
No. The 200-card base set is split 100 veterans/legends and 100 rookies. You'll pull autographs from both groups, and inserts like Aurora Autos feature established players and Hall of Famers. But the Rookie Jersey Autographs are the marquee chase.
What makes Obsidian different from other 2020 Panini football products?
Obsidian uses black as the dominant color with Opti-chrome stock, which sets it apart visually from Prizm, Spectra, and Optic. The one-pack-per-box format is also unique and makes it feel more premium. The Electric Etch parallels add a lot of chase value.
Are there any memorabilia-only cards?
Yes. Volcanic Materials and Rookie Eruption both feature jumbo swatches without autographs. Galaxy Gear has memorabilia from veterans. These round out the hit types alongside the various autograph sets.
What are the best inserts in 2020 Panini Obsidian?
Worth keeping an eye out for: Rookie Jersey Autographs, Rookie Jersey Ink, Aurora Autos, Electric Etch Parallels, Supernova, Color Blast Black.
