Panini’s 2024 Totally Certified Football is a Certified Smash

Written by: Connor Zimmerlee

Some things are worth the wait. The refreshing gulp of water after a long workout, a sweet dessert after a delicious dinner and, in Panini’s case, the return of 2024 Totally Certified Football. This anticipated release is a Target exclusive that has something for every collector to look forward to.

There are four options — Blaster, Fat Pack, Hobby and Mega Box, each with their own exclusives. All feature a plethora of beautifully designed cards that are certain to pop out of any collection. Totally Certified Football boasts an impressive checklist of 100 base cards, 75 rookies and 25 legends. Joining those are sweet memorabilia cards like New Generation Jerseys, Certified Gamers and more. Find exclusive retail inserts such as Portraits, On Target and Franchise Foundations.

Look for Blaster-exclusive parallels such as Mirror Blue (numbered to 249), Mirror Platinum Silver (numbered to 125) and Platinum Blue Camo (numbered to 35). This option contains six packs per blaster box, with four parallels and four inserts/insert parallels.

When it comes to Fat Packs, the name is rather indicative of what to expect. More cards and more packs, as each box contains 12 packs with a whopping 10 cards per pack. Like the other options, Fat Packs includes the parallel Mirror Platinum Mixorama.

The Hobby box features 10 packs per box and six stunning cards per pack. We know, we know. That’s a lot of cards. It’s totally worth it, though, as each box contains one autograph card, two memorabilia cards, 10 parallels and seven inserts/insert parallels, on average.

The Hobby box also includes exclusive memorabilia in sets such as Fabric of the Game, Certified Baller and the 1-of-1 Mirror Platinum Black, just to name a few.

And last, but certainly not least, is the heavy-hitter Mega Box. In this, you will find six packs of seven cards. The Mega Box includes an array of tantalizing cards, with memorabilia stealing the show. These are New Generation Jersey, Certified Gamers, among others, and can be found within exclusive parallels like Mirror Neon Orange and Mirror Platinum white, numbered to 49 or less.
