The Short Report: Panini America Reveals SPs and SSPs in 2019 Contenders Football (Part 1)

January 22, 2020

Panini America’s ballyhooed 2019 Contenders Football arrived in hobby shops across North America earlier this month to a ready-and-waiting collector base that has spent the last 19 days or so in a wrapper-ripping, Rookie Ticket-revealing frenzy. 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.

Today, we’re going to devote some attention to clarifying or demystifying some of the set’s SP and SSP mysteries. The initial list below details some of the SPs and SSPs featured in 2019 Contenders Football’s Rookie Tickets (Team Logo), Rookie Ticket Variations (Team Helmet) and Veteran Tickets. For 2019 Contenders Football, an SP indicates cards with a print run of 250 or less; an SSP indicates cards with a print run of 100 or less. Enjoy the initial list and stay tuned to The Knight’s Lance for Part 2 next week.
