If metal is your thing, then you will be in your element with Panini America’s upcoming football product.

Elements will feature one pack per hobby box, with four cards to a pack. The SRP is $120 per box.

2020 Panini Elements Base Set
The base set will have metal card stock with a new design, Parallels will be numbered according to the periodic table. It’s a clever way to market a product and brings back memories of high school science classes.

Rookies Metal cards will also have parallels in Gold (79), Palladium (46), Neon (10), Lithium (3) and Hydrogen (1/1).
