2018 Panini Contenders Draft Picks Baseball Checklist and Details
Jump directly to the 2018 Panini Contenders Draft Picks Baseball checklist.
2018 Panini Contenders Draft Picks Baseball delves into draft picks and other prospects. This being Contenders, autographs are a major part of the focus with each hobby pack getting one.
2018 Panini Contenders Draft Picks Baseball Overview
Twenty-five cards make up the Season Ticket base set. While much of the product highlights up-and-comers, these center on veterans, young players and retired stars pictured from their college days. Variations offer up alternate photos.
The checklist RPS Draft Ticket autographs consists of players from the first three rounds of the 2018 draft. These have on-card autographs. Parallels include Prospect Ticket (/99 or less), Cracked Ice Ticket (/23 or less), Playoff Ticket (/15 or less) and Playoff Ticket (1/1).
Draft Ticket autographs expand the checklist further. However, these are differentiated by the fact that they aren’t hard-signed. Even more prospect ink is available in Prospect Ticket and International Ticket, which Panini promises to have the first autograph cards from the Rangers’ Juan Pablo Martinez.
2018 Panini Contenders Draft Picks Baseball has some tough autographs. Old School Colors Signatures feature past standouts. Collegiate Connections Signatures have two players from the same school.

It’s nice that they’ll have the college team nicknames on the cards this year. I guess Panini can do that since Topps doesn’t have that exclusive license.
