Some endearing attributes of 1990s and 2000s trading cards will meet modern technology in a unique way when Panini America unveils the all-new 2017 Illusions Football in late November, intent on proving that, sometimes, two-player fronts are better than one. Boasting a base set that features a current player and a former player from the same team on the same card, 2017 Illusions Football also will include stunning Trophy Collection parallels in Blue (numbered to 100), Red (numbered to 50), Green (numbered to 25) and Purple (1/1).
Set to arrive in hobby shops across North America on November 22, each hobby box of 2017 Illusions Football (five cards per pack, 10 packs per box, eight boxes per inner case, two inner cases per master case) will deliver, on average, one autograph memorabilia card, two autographs, two memorabilia cards, five inserts and one silver-wrapped parallel box topper.
