Frequently asked
What's the main draw of 2019 Obsidian?
It's an autograph-heavy product. Every box has 4 hits that are either autographs or memorabilia, so you're guaranteed multiple signed cards. The designs are sharp with the black opti-chrome look and Electric Etch parallels.
What are Rookie Jersey Ink cards?
They're the flagship rookie autographs in the set. Each card has a centered photo with dual jerseys and an autograph, numbered to 150 or less. There are rarer Electric Etch parallels that go down to 1/1, making them highly collectible.
Who are some of the autograph players?
You'll find current stars like Patrick Mahomes, Baker Mayfield, and Saquon Barkley, plus legends like Joe Montana, Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, Dan Marino, and Brett Favre. Lightning Strike Electric Etch specifically features Hall of Famers.
How do the Electric Etch parallels work?
Base cards and many autographs come in seven Electric Etch tiers. Purple is the most common (/75), then Orange (/50), Green (/25), Yellow (/10), Contra (/7), Red (/5), and Blue Finite (1/1). Lower tiers are much scarcer.
What's the base set like?
It's 200 cards total. The first 100 are veterans and retired stars, and the second 100 are 2019 rookies. Base cards are numbered to 125 copies each, so they're not super rare but still collectible.
Is this a good value at $165 per box?
You're getting 4 hits per box, which is solid for a premium product. If you hit a good rookie autograph or a legend's signature, you can easily recoup your cost. The design quality is high, but it depends on your luck and what you pull.
What other autograph subsets are in the set?
Matrix Materials features game-changers with player-worn material prominently displayed, and Aurora Autos focuses on NFL greats. Both have multiple Electric Etch parallel tiers. There are also die-cut autographs like Tunnel Vision, Eclipse, and Supernova.
