Panini said its breakdown of a typical hobby box will be one base card, a parallel, one autograph card, a memorabilia card and a rookie patch autograph card.
The base cards will have parallels in Silver, numbered up to 50, along with Copper (up to 35), Emerald (up to 25), Gold (up to 10) and Platinum (1/1).
Memorabilia Cards
Memorabilia cards will include Futuristic, which will sport colorful designs and will have parallels in Silver (up to 99), Copper (up to 50), Emerald (up to 25), Gold (up to 10) and Platinum (1/1).
