2023 Panini Illusions Football makes collectors see different things. Sometimes it's a double. On other cards, things are clear. Yes, autographs and memorial cards are also part of the game, with a total of five occurrences per hobby box. They also average one insert per pack and a serially numbered parallel in every other pack.
The basic set comprises 100 cards. The foil is the base with a close-up of the main photo floating in the background. The trophy collection is the parallel theme once again, with cards in a variety of colors and versions.
First-year players figure prominently in Illusions' autograph lineup. These include First Impressions Autographed Memorabilia and Rookie Signs.
But it's not just rookie signings. Veterans and retired players are also on the list. Elusive Ink returns with autographs from players who don't often sign.
The inserts can be combined not only with large motifs, but also with different types of media. In hobby packs, this translates into acetate and microetch themes. Illusionists and the King of Cards are both back.
For a bit of nostalgia for old-school trick-or-treating, there's Holo Heroes, inspired by holograms.
