Panini America Provides Detailed First Look at 2016 Unparalleled Football (Gallery)
Sometimes it’s the look. Or the scarcity. Or the technology. Or the player. Or the team. Heck, sometimes it’s all of those things. Indeed, when it comes to collecting parallels, there are seemingly as many motivations to chase them as there are different parallels to chase. To be sure, developing captivating parallels is something Panini America has consistently done for years.
Later this summer, Panini America will do it again with the all-new 2016 Unparalleled Football, a bold addition to the Panini America NFL portfolio boasting a bevy of never-before-seen designs and parallel technologies. Set to arrive August 10, the inaugural edition of the Unparalleled brand will offers a base-set structure that incorporates eight distinct parallels (Purple, Teal, Orange, Red, Blue, Green, Gold and Black). Check out additional product information after the jump.
Each box of 2016 Unparalleled Football (10 cards per pack, eight packs per box) will deliver three autograph or memorabilia cards and at least seven numbered cards, inserts or parallels per box. Among the other highlights . . .
- Rare cards featuring Tags, Brand Logos and NFL Shields of the top 2016 rookies.
