Finally, the national release day for Panini America's 2017 Contenders Football has arrived. That makes today more like a national collecting holiday rather than just another new-release Friday. The Contenders Football franchise is that revered in the industry. It has been since the brand first introduced collectors to the concept of the Autographed Rookie Card way back in 1998. Almost two decades later, Contenders Football remains one of the most important influential products in the marketplace.

Almost two decades later, Contenders Football remains one of the most important influential products in the marketplace.
On average, each hobby box of 2017 Contenders Football (five cards per pack, 24 packs per box, 12 boxes per case) will deliver five autographs, one parallel and 18 inserts. Longtime Contenders loyalists pinpoint Contenders’ fabled autographed Rookie Tickets as the Rookie Card of choice, and this year promises to deliver enough calling-card RCs to keep 2017 Contenders Football scorching well into the spring. Bolstered by the requisite SP chases and the brand’s defining parallels, 2017 Contenders Football offers an inviting mix of hard-signed RCs from the most outstanding members of the 2017 NFL Draft Class, autographs of those hidden gems from the later rounds and Veteran Autograph Tickets to add an air of superstardom to the mix.
In the must-see Teaser Gallery that follows, we take you pack by pack through two boxes of the product. Be sure to check out our Quality Control Gallery as well as our Teaser Gallery on the special “1st Off The Line” edition. There are still a limited number of 2017 Contenders Football “1st Off The Line” boxes available at the official online store of Panini America.
Enjoy the gallery and stay tuned to The Knight’s Lance for complete coverage of the product’s many SP chases.
WOW! 3 Colts autographs in one box? That’s my dream right there! Thanks Tracy!
Wonder if anyone can help . I am trying ( in the UK !! ), to collect the Super bowl Signatures inserts that started way back in 2015 . I have in my collection 117 plus 6 on the way . I dont think I am missing too many , so is there a checklist of just these Super bowl Signatures anywhere ?
