Product Overview
2023 Panini Illusions Football has collectors seeing different things. Sometimes it’s double. On other cards, things are clear. Yes, autographs and memorabilia cards are a part of it, too, with five total hits per hobby box. They also average an insert per pack and a serial numbered parallel in every other pack.
The base set starts with 100 cards. Foil is the foundation with a close-up of the main shot floating in the background. Trophy Collection is the theme of the parallels once again with cards getting a variety of colors and versions.
First-year players figure prominently in Illusions’ autograph lineup. These include First Impressions Autographed Memorabilia and Rookie Signs.
It’s not just rookie signatures, though. Vets and retired players are also on the checklist. Elusive Ink returns with autographs from players who don’t sign often.
Inserts go with not only big designs but different types of stock as well. In hobby packs, this comes across with both acetate and microetch themes. Illusionists and King of Cards both return.
For a bit of nostalgia for old-school chase sets, there’s the hologram-inspired Holo Heroes.
