As a guy who gets paid to love all of Panini America’s products equally, I probably shouldn’t admit that there’s one product I love above all others. But I’m going to admit it anyway. Playbook Football. There. I said it. Playbook Football is my favorite Panini America product. So you can imagine my dismay when the product took last season off following a roller-coaster six-year run that started in 2011. Apparently, I wasn’t the only one who missed it. Good news: Playbook Football is back!
Set to arrive in hobby shops across North America in early December, 2018 Playbook Football once again will deliver some of the industry’s most spectacularly conceived and aesthetically gifted booklet cards, including the return of the popular Game of Inches and Armory. On average, each hobby box (four cards per box, eight boxes per inner case, two inner cases per master case) will deliver four autograph or memorabilia cards including one booklet card per box.
For the first time since 2012, Playbook will include hard-signed memorabilia booklets and, on average, three in every four boxes will deliver an on-card Rookie Playbook Jersey Autograph numbered to 125 or less. 2018 Playbook Football also will be included in Panini America’s ongoing 2018 NFL Kickoff Pack promotion. Distributors will receiver two 2018 NFL Kickoff packs for each 2018 Playbook Football box pre-ordered (32 packs per case).
The highlights of the triumphantly returning 2018 Playbook Football are many and include . . .
- Brand new tri-fold booklets in the Nexus and Vault inserts. Both inserts will include Tri-Fold Jersey Autos numbered to 25 or less as well as Gold (numbered to 10 or less) and Premium 1/1 versions.
