Immaculate is Panini’s glossy, thick-stock showpiece. It leans on jumbo and prime relics, hard-signed autographs, and acetate windows that make the big hits pop. This season sticks to the high-end recipe and layers in some welcome twists, including a new Pink parallel out of 15, fresh autograph themes, and booklet designs that feel built for a display case.
What a hobby box looks like in real life
Each hobby box has 6 cards: 3 autographs, 2 memorabilia, and 1 more card that will be either a base card, a base parallel, or an insert. First Off The Line adds even more low-numbered content with one FOTL-exclusive patch autograph, one FOTL-exclusive base parallel, and one FOTL-exclusive memorabilia card.

Rookie Patch Autographs – the centerpiece
Immaculate RPAs are acetate and hard-signed, with prime swatches and chase tiers that run from Blue 49 down to Logoman 1. There’s also a jersey-number tier at 77 or fewer for certain players. Parallel ladder for RPAs: Blue 49, Pink 25, International Red 15, Gold 10, FOTL 8, International Green 5, Tags 3, Platinum 1, Logoman 1. If you prefer a landscape look, Premium Patch Autographs provide a horizontal option for rookies and select veterans.
Rookie Patches
Patch-only rookies give you another lane to collect the class without chasing signatures. Parallels include Blue 49, FOTL 18, International Red 15, Gold 10, International Green 5, Platinum 1, and Logoman 1.
New autograph concepts this season
- Immaculate All Pro Lineage – connects eras and positions in a clean, high-end look

- If you’re building a team page, pair one veteran auto, one rookie patch auto, and one memorabilia card with event provenance. That trio tells a story in a single row.
- Action and Variation cards give team collectors photo diversity without chasing a whole new checklist. Slot them next to the base for a clean three-wide look.
- For a quick starter run, target a team’s rookie RPA at 99, a Pink 15 or Blue 25 veteran parallel, and any new memorabilia concept like Draft Combine or Champion Swatches.
- Cases are five boxes, so PYT checklists stay manageable.
- Player breaks make sense here because the RPA list is tight and Premium Patch Autos carry veterans.
- If you rip solo, plan your exit. Immaculate is swingy by design, so be ready to trade or sell quickly if you land a monster from a team you don’t collect.
- Scan acetate under strong light for faint roller lines or dimples.
- Check patch windows for edge lift and make sure corners are crisp.
- Inspect signatures for clean ink flow around loops.
- Sleeve with fitted thick sleeves and use fresh 130 pt or 180 pt holders so edges don’t rub.
- Player lane: anchor with one vertical RPA and one horizontal Premium Patch Auto, then add a Pink 15 or Gold 10 base parallel for a balanced trio.
- Rookie class lane: choose a favorite color and apply it across three to five first-year players. Pink 15 pairs nicely with Gold 10 in a nine-pocket page.
- Insert-light lane: focus on base Action/Variation plus one memorabilia concept to keep the look cohesive without chasing every parallel.
