  1. Any chance there will be Syracuse players in the set? UD did a terrible job of utilizing the Syracuse legends…

  2. Some of these are really great looking. And that might be the first photo I’ve ever seen of Julius Thomas playing CFB.

  3. So sweet!!! I’m so pumped u guys at Panini got the collegiate license!! Can’t wait to buy some boxes when this comes out!

  4. Looks cool. Not much of a college football uni person unless they are rookies or a flashback insert but should be interesting to open since I am a Contenders fan.

  5. Interesting first glimpse at this new product and license, looking forward to some new innovations to be added now that colleges are added. Maybe something with mascots or classic rivalries? Thanks Tracy!
