Panini America Addresses Freshman Fabric Rewards Points in 2014 Certified Football

The late-stage insertion of informational fliers inside inner cases of Panini America's 2014 Certified Football last week has created some confusion among collectors regarding what Freshman Fabric autograph memorabilia cards ultimately made packout.

      1. Thanks it does clarify it more. This info really needs to be out before the product hits, though. How many people bought into breaks that missed out since they weren’t live and the points were just randomed among everyone?

  1. Is this how the points will work in all products, moving forward? Players/cards which are not signed in time, will not be a specific redemption, they will instead be a point card? From multiple previous posts on the Knight’s Lance, it seemed that there would still be player/card specific redemptions for ALL cards in the set?

  2. Why couldn’t they have split it up between redemptions and pts. so there weren’t so many points cards? Kind of hurts box breaks with all the pts cards. Less autos to go around in a case break from what I experienced

  3. Where do we go to find out how many points to takes to get a card? I hit one for 150 points and don’t know exactly what to do with them. I don’t have a smart phone, since I don’t like cell phones, so am I out of luck or what?

  4. I for one appreciate that you are at least TRYING a new system to deal with the problem of athletes not always being on time. Appreciate the efforts, thanks for your patience, we will try to be patient with you as well!
