That's certain to continue in the weeks ahead as the many Contenders completists work on building their sets, with one eye always on the set's various variations and short prints. We provided an early road map to help collectors identify Rookie Ticket variations earlier this week.

  1. Whoofta. That’s rough. Stick in a few worth going after. At least with a good WR or two. The draft was loaded with ’em. Pretty bad when the most notable one is a kicker.

  2. This will definitely change the way I look at the retail component this year, I think my plans for tomorrow have changed to include an extra stop or two. Thanks Tracy!

  3. As someone who only buys retail, I find some of the of the retail focused releases that Panini has put out very interesting. But after looking at this list… Thanks? I guess? Seems more of a way to drive set collectors to retail than any real benefit to retail buyers.

    1. 99 out of 100 hobby products out do retail products and if retail gets to strong the hobby DIES. No stores = no Hobby. ebay and internet sales cannot keep the hobby striving. the fun and enjoyment and the time put into the hobby only comes from Brick and Mortar stores.

      1. I don’t disagree with you, but I don’t have a Brick & Mortar near me.

        Panini has been making an effort to give something unique to Retail, like Prestige Basketball (Good) or this (eh).
