2023-24 Contenders Rookie Ticket Set

kingofsnake · 06-23-2025, 11:30 PM

Just finished the Contenders Rookie Ticket early this month. I thought I had finished it months ago but Panini decided to add three cards to Origins that were not on the original checklist (Rupert, Strawther, Whitehead). Also Walsh was a redemption that I nearly gave up on, but they ended up making it.

great set! seems kind of weird to just add contenders autos to a different product but guess that isn't surprising for panini

all on card is a nice one!

Thanks, boxbuster7. Yes, it seems that Panini has been adding live and previously unreleased cards from old sets in their recent products. More fair than putting them in the Rewards Store at least.

Not a bad class.

I think every set you complete is a challenging one. Great looking auto set!

Very Cool. Congrats on completing it.

Thanks, kukocitb and Beavers98.

Yes, I thought they did a pretty good job with the design this year.

Near July already and still no news of any future 24-25 Contenders release.

Personally I hope they don't do 24-25 as the thought of paying $100+ for a Reed Sheppard makes me unhappy.
