Hold onto your helmets, folks, because the wait is finally over—Panini’s 2023 Contenders Optic Football has officially hit the shelves, and it's packing more heat than a summer training camp! This release is a touchdown for collectors everywhere, loaded with the stars, rookies, and legends that made the 2023 season one for the record books. Whether you're a rookie chaser, a superstar admirer, or someone who gets misty-eyed over the legends of yesteryear, there's something here that'll have you yelling, "I got next!"

Let's talk rookies, shall we? Last season, a fresh crop of football phenoms hit the scene like a blitzing linebacker. Puka Nacua had secondaries scrambling every week, while Bijan Robinson left defenders spinning like they were auditioning for a dance-off. These gridiron gladiators, along with other up-and-coming stars, are splashed across the coveted Rookie Ticket Autographs and Rookie Patch Autographs sets. But here's the kicker—these beauties are one-per-case chases, so good luck hunting them down!

But wait, there's more! The rookies weren’t the only ones lighting up the highlight reels. We’ve got seasoned superstars dropping jaws and dropping dimes all over the field. Jordan Love and Justin Herbert were throwing lasers like they had a cheat code, while Justin Jefferson and Deebo Samuel were putting up stats that could make even a Madden player do a double-take. These guys are the real deal, and their cards are just waiting to be snatched up.

Now, for the collectors who like their cards with a side of nostalgia, Contenders Optic Football has you covered. We're talking about legends—no, not the "I once scored a touchdown in high school" kind, but actual gridiron gods. Think Bo Jackson, Cris Carter, and Eli Manning, all signing autographs that you can add to your collection. These aren’t just cards; they’re pieces of football history.

Each case of this football treasure chest includes, on average, one Rookie Patch Autograph, a case-hit insert (you might land an Induction Ticket Autograph, Legitness, or Now Contending card), and four other inserts. We’re talking about sets like Up and Coming, Optic Illusions, Splitting Image, Lottery Ticket, and First Class Ticket—each one more drool-worthy than the last.

So, whether you’re looking to build your dream team or just want a piece of football history, Panini’s 2023 Contenders Optic Football is here to make your collecting dreams a reality. Grab your packs, say a little prayer to the football card gods, and let the hunt begin!
