2020 Panini Phoenix Football Preview

Look for a little more shininess in 2020 Panini Phoenix Football.  The brand returns with a release date of October 30.

Panini says it will make more use of Opti-Chrome technology on what is a pretty busy-looking design. Boxes are on eBay for around $240.

They’re also releasing a 2020 Phoenix Factory Set done entirely on Opti-chrome with the Fire Burst look used for a case hit inserts in 2019.

Configuration

Each hobby box will have 12 packs with five cards per pack.  Each case will hold 16 boxes.
