First look: 2013 Totally Certified Football
By Susan Lulgjuraj | Beckett Football Editor
Collectors will get a chance to open cards on Thanksgiving.
Panini America is releasing 2013 Totally Certified Football on Nov. 27, one day before the American holiday.
Collectors get to remember past Thanksgivings with new inserts highlighting some of the best football games from that day – with autograph parallels included.
Totally Certified will feature one hit per pack with six packs in every box. There will be at least two autographs.
This release utilizes micro-etching on the cards, creating a unique effect.
The Freshman Fabric cards will have a new design with the autograph in the middle of the horizontal cards and a large swatch window at the bottom. The checklist of the Freshman Fabric cards will have all 40 players from the NFL Players Association Rookie Premiere.
Another rookie highlight includes the Certified Future Signature Materials.
Team Panini Signature Materials will have some of the top players in the NFL such as Colin Kaepernick. These are numbered to 99 or fewer and will have Prime parallels numbered to 25 or fewer.
The Stitches in Time memorabilia cards are back with Single, Dual, Triple and Quad versions.
And don’t forget the parallels. There will be Totally Red, Blue, Gold, Green and Black parallels.
