Building on the base set, Rookie Tickets utilize on-card autographs and a mix of parallels. Numbered to 199 or less, signed parallels include Playoff Tickets, Championship Tickets, Cracked Ice Tickets, Super Bowl Tickets and Printing Plates. Collectors can also find limited Rookie Ticket Variations that include college images.
Other signed rookie content includes Rookie Ink, which also features Gold (#/25) and Holo Gold (1/1) parallels. Round Numbers Dual Autos documents rookies that were drafted in the same round of the 2015 NFL Draft.
Not just limited to the newest group of players, 2015 Panini Contenders Football also has signed cards for current stars and former greats. MVP Contenders Autographs covers ten top options for the NFL MVP Award and are numbered to 25 or less. Legendary Contenders Autographs showcase the retired stars with cards also limited to 25 less.
Averaging nine cards per hobby box, several inserts add to the mix. Pennants (1:8 packs), Rookie of the Year Contenders (1:12 packs), MVP Contenders (1:24 packs) and Legendary Contenders (1:24 packs) are a few of the choices.
A new twist for collectors, 2015 Panini Contenders Draft Picks carries the Contenders brand name as well and features the 2015 rookie class, but it was issued earlier in the collecting year as a college-specific product.
