Absolute returns with the kind of box that punches above its weight. Each hobby box holds 15 cards split across three packs, and five of those cards are hits. You can expect one Rookie Premiere Materials Autograph, two additional autographs, and two memorabilia cards, plus a supporting cast that includes six base cards, one rookie, two parallels, and an insert. Cases are twelve boxes, so breakers can map the flow without guesswork.
The base checklist blends veteran stars with the incoming rookie class and gets the full color treatment. Spectrum parallels are back alongside other foil variations, which means player collectors can build out rainbows while they hunt autographs and relics. With only a handful of non-hit cards in each box, progress on team sets comes steadily and the numbered parallels feel meaningful.
Memorabilia remains a pillar for this brand. Tools of the Trade stacks multi swatches in clean windows, Absolute Heroes spotlights established names with relics that display well, and Ground Hoggs puts a clear focus on rushers with pieces that match the theme. Ink shows up beyond Rookie Premiere, too. All-Pro Souvenir Signatures adds a veteran lane that pairs achievements with autographs for a little story on the card face.
There is a modern headline woven in as well. Another entry in the Patrick Mahomes Autograph Collection lands in Absolute, this time recognizing his second Super Bowl MVP. It gives the product a chase that ties directly to a defining player of the era.
Case-hit energy is as strong as ever. Kaboom returns in both Horizontal and Vertical forms, and Super Bowl Kaboom joins the hunt for a championship-flavored twist on the comic style artwork collectors know. Glass one of ones make a comeback to anchor the true rarities. Those two lanes have a way of turning a three-pack box into a show-stopper when the timing is right.
Key details are straightforward. Hobby configuration is five cards per pack, three packs per box, and twelve boxes per case. Release is scheduled for September 26, 2025, and the full set size will post closer to launch once the manufacturer finalizes the checklist.
