The excitement is palpable in the world of card collecting as Panini gears up to release the highly anticipated 2023 Panini Select Football set. This chromium-styled product is a fan-favorite among collectors and is known for its stunning design and diverse range of cards. With a summer release just before the 2024 NFL training camps, this year’s edition is set to deliver a thrilling experience for fans and collectors alike.
One of the highlights of the 2023 set is the robust 500-card base set, divided into five distinct levels ranging from Concourse to Field. The Concourse Level, featuring cards #1-100, represents the most common cards in the set, while the Field Level, with cards #401-500, offers the rarest finds for collectors to discover. In addition to the base set, collectors can look forward to a variety of sought-after parallels, including the popular Zebra and Disco parallels, as well as the numerically limited Tie-Dye parallels.
A standout feature of this year’s release is the return of the XRC Mystery Redemption program. This program gives collectors the opportunity to obtain some of the first licensed rookie cards from the upcoming 2024 NFL Draft class. The XRC cards will come in Silver Prizm, low-numbered variants, and autographed editions, making them highly coveted among collectors seeking exclusive and valuable cards.
In addition to the base set and the XRC program, the 2023 Panini Select Football set will also feature a range of autographs and memorabilia cards. Collectors can expect to find Jumbo Rookie Signature Swatches, Prime Selections Prizm Signatures Tie-Dye autograph memorabilia cards, and Spectra Hall of Fame Signatures Prizm cards showcasing autographs from legendary players. These additions add depth and excitement to an already impressive collection of cards.
For fans of inserts, this year’s collection will reintroduce popular inserts such as Starcade, Color Wheel, and Select Anniversary. These inserts complement the overall design of the set and offer collectors additional opportunities to enhance their collections with unique and eye-catching cards.
The hobby box configuration for the 2023 Panini Select Football set includes 5 cards per pack, 12 packs per box, and 12 boxes per case. Each hobby box is expected to contain 2 autographs, 1 memorabilia card, 15 Prizm parallels, 6 inserts, and 2 Field Level base cards, providing collectors with a comprehensive selection of high-value cards in every box.
With a retail price of $450 per hobby box, the 2023 Panini Select Football set promises to deliver an exciting and rewarding collecting experience for enthusiasts and NFL fans alike.
