Panini America Eyes the Retail-Only 2018 Panini Football (60 Must-See Images)

[doniceage]

The first thing many collectors are likely to notice about the completely redesigned and retail-only Panini Football franchise are the new-look base and Rookie Cards that boast one of the cleanest designs you’ll see all season. The second thing most folks will notice are that those aforementioned RCs feature the rookies in their NFL uniforms. Oh, and there’s a massive 400-card base set . . . SKU-exclusive content . . . autographs . . . memorabilia cards . . . yeah, there’s a lot to like about 2018 Panini Football.

I like the full edge bleed approach to the photography with minimalist design. I like the rookies a lot with the field acting as the background to them for the most part. I think the thing I don't like about the inserts (which holds true for many of their retail brands) is that they look more like main set subsets rather than stand alone inserts. Prestige does the same thing for the most part and isn't visually appealing. Adding some extra foil or some sweet old school hologram effects or die cuts would go a long way. Autographs look nice and clean.
