Like previous years, the result is a vast checklist filled with color, autographs and inserts. Hobby boxes promise one autograph as well as an average of either an insert or parallel per pack. Choice and Fast Break, a couple of other configurations, also have an autograph per box but these have their own spins as far as exclusives and overall focus. The base set has 300 total cards, highlighting veterans (225 cards), legends (25 cards) and Rated Rookies (50 cards).
