Frequently asked
What are the key rookies to chase in 2018 Gold Standard?
The marquee rookies are Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold, Saquon Barkley, Josh Rosen, Josh Allen, and Lamar Jackson. All have Rookie Jersey Autographs in the set, and they're the primary reason collectors open boxes.
How many autographs or hits do I get per box?
You get five autographs or memorabilia cards per box on average. One is guaranteed to be a Rookie Jersey Autograph, and the other four are a mix of additional autographs or memorabilia inserts.
What are the Rookie Jersey Autograph parallels?
Base Rookie Jersey Autographs are numbered /99 or less with blue ink. Parallels include Gold Ink Prime (/25) and White Ink Prime Tag (1/1). Double and Triple versions exist with /75 or less print runs and similar parallel tiers.
