The season is over and the draft will be here soon but the 2020 football card products will keep coming through the early part of the spring. 2020 Panini Encased is set to make its return, marking another chapter in the partnership between Beckett Grading and the NFL’s trading card partner.
2020 Panini Encased Football Configuration
Currently scheduled for a March 26 release, each box of Encased NFL will have a single pack of five cards. Each will hold one graded autograph card along with a second autograph, two relic cards and a base card.
There will be a First Off The Line version that will include a Ruby parallel autograph numbered to 15 or less along with a Ruby base card parallel.
