Panini America Offers Detailed First Look at 2017 Immaculate Football (Preview Gallery)
Let’s face it: Panini America’s Immaculate Football franchise doesn’t really need much in the way of a formal introduction every year. Fans of the brand know well by now what to expect from one of the collecting’s most coveted products. It’s all about unique, jumbo memorabilia cards, on-card autographs on key inserts and those multi-signed masterpieces. And so it will be when 2017 Immaculate Football arrives in hobby shops across North America in early November.
Collectors don’t necessarily need a full-blown explanation of each new Immaculate iteration; just a quick synopsis of what’s new and a few images to showcase what the cards will look like for the new season. Set to release on November 8, each hobby box of 2017 Immaculate Football (six cards per box, six boxes per case) will deliver, on average, five autograph or memorabilia cards and one base or parallel card.
Panini America Provides Detailed First Look at 2017 National Treasures NASCAR Racing
During a dynamic and fast-paced 2016 rookie season on the NASCAR trading card track, Panini America delivered a diverse selection of products that appealed to fans and collectors of all levels. A season that started with Prizm moved effectively to Torque and then Certified, setting the stage for the grand finale that was 2016 National Treasures NASCAR Racing, one of the most content-rich racing products of all time. That high-octane, bar-raiser of a product was as eye-opening as it was eye-popping as it introduced the many merits of National Treasures to racing fans for the first time.
In November, National Treasures returns for its racing encore with a 2017 edition that revisits and refines many of last season’s strongest attributes while also providing an overhauled base set in which every card features a piece of race-used or race-worn material. Set to arrive in hobby shops across North America on November 15, each box of 2017 National Treasures NASCAR Racing (eight cards per box, four boxes per case) will deliver, on average, one booklet, two autograph memorabilia cards, two autographs and three memorabilia cards.

Panini America’s 2017 XR Football Shines in Must-See Quality Control Gallery (93 Pics)
Ever since collectors first caught wind of Panini America’s upcoming 2017 XR Football product, one of the most-asked questions surrounding the new release has had nothing to do with product composition, checklists, autograph and memorabilia rosters or design principles. Instead, most folks have wanted to know just one thing: What does “XR” stand for? That’s a good question — and probably one best answered at another time. Certainly, there’s something to be said for a buzz-generating name. But beyond those two letters, XR Football would likely stand out by any name.
As you’ll see, matte-finish rainbow foils and vibrant colors work wonders for a set’s aesthetics; and 2017 XR Football’s Luminous Endorsements, Maximal Materials and Rookie Jumbo Materials represent some of the most attractive designs of the young 2017 NFL product season. On average, each hobby box (seven cards per pack, two packs per box) will deliver two autographs (including one Rookie Autograph Jersey) and one memorabilia card.
