Frequently asked

What makes the 2018 Panini Classics rookies special?
The rookie subset (#201-300) features the 2018 NFL draft class shown in their college uniforms. Key names include Baker Mayfield, Saquon Barkley, Josh Allen, Sam Darnold, and Lamar Jackson. These cards are the main draw for most hobby box openers.
How many autographs come in a hobby box?
One autograph is guaranteed per hobby box. You'll also get one memorabilia card. Buyback autographs (original cards with added signatures from 1988-2017) are rarer, landing about one per 10-box case.
What are Premium Edition Parallels?
These are new for 2018 and printed on chromium stock, landing four per hobby box. One of the four is sequentially numbered, making it a short-print chase within the box.
What's the base set structure?
The 300-card base set is split into three equal sections: 100 veterans (current NFL stars), 100 legends (Hall of Famers and retired greats), and 100 rookies (2018 draft class in college colors). The design has a 1950s-60s throwback vibe with trivia on the card backs.
Are there numbered parallels I should know about?
Yes. Non-chrome parallels include Red Back (/299), Blank Back (/50), No Name (/10), and Full Name (/5). Timeless Tributes color parallels come in Gold (/99), Orange (/25), Blue (/10), and Black (1/1). These land six per hobby box on average.
What's the difference between hobby and blaster boxes?
Hobby boxes have 14 packs of 10 cards each (140 total). Blaster boxes have 8 packs of 8 cards each (64 total). Blasters are cheaper but have fewer cards and hits. Blasters also get an exclusive Saturday Swatches insert (1 per box on average) showing current NFL stars in college colors.
Are there sticker inserts in this product?
Yes, stickers made a comeback in 2018 Classics. You'll pull about two sticker inserts per hobby box from three types: Team Pennants, Vintage Logos, and Award Winners. It's a nostalgic element that fits the retro design theme.
