Brand identification shouldn’t be a problem when Panini One football makes its debut during the third week of January. Each box–likely priced at around $100–will contain one autographed card.
The appropriate moniker for the NFL product is the latest in a hobby trend of single-card boxes.
Each card will come in a one-touch holder. Every card will be printed on either acetate or canvas stock. Panini says 85 percent will be patch cards. The checklist will include rookies, current stars and retired greats.
Autographed Patch Cards
Rookie Patches in 2018 Panini One football feature custom embossed card stock and oversized patches, all numbered to 199 or less. There will be plenty of parallels including:

Rookie Patch Autographs Gold – #’d/10
