Frequently asked
What makes this product different from regular 2019 Contenders?
Optic adds an opti-chrome shine and a rainbow of colored parallels to the base Contenders design. The core draw remains the same: two autographs per box, but the visual presentation and parallel tiers are expanded.
Which 2019 rookies are the biggest hits?
Kyler Murray, Josh Jacobs, DK Metcalf, Daniel Jones, and Nick Bosa are among the key names in the Rookie Ticket RPS Autographs set. These on-card signatures are the marquee chase cards.
What are the parallel tiers for base cards?
Season Tickets and Rookie Tickets have Red (/199), Blue (/99), Orange (/50), Green Pulsar (/27), Purple Pulsar (/21), Gold (/10), Gold Vinyl (1/1), and Printing Plates (1/1 in four colors each).
Are all autographs on-card?
No. Rookie Ticket RPS Autographs are on-card, but regular Rookie Ticket Autographs are off-card. Veteran inserts like Player of the Year Contenders and Legendary Contenders Autographs vary.
How many cards are in a hobby box?
Just six cards total. One pack per box with 6 cards per pack, so you get 2 autographs, 1 insert, 1 parallel, and 2 base cards per box.
What other inserts should I know about?
Look for MVP Contenders (/165), All-Time Contenders, Winning Tickets, and die-cut Supernova cards. Contenders Tribute pulls opti-chrome versions of classic autographs from 1999, 2002, and 2007 designs.
Is this a good value compared to regular Contenders?
Optic is a premium product with the same two-auto-per-box guarantee but a higher price point due to the opti-chrome finish and expanded parallel rainbow. It's for collectors who want the visual upgrade and don't mind paying for it.
When did 2019 Panini Contenders Optic come out?
It dropped March 11, 2020.
What's in a 2019 Panini Contenders Optic hobby box?
