Surprised it took them until 2 months before they’re done to adopt the Topps model of the same set operating as different releases.

what is this? there main card is a backup qb that just transferred

CapMarvelous · 01-29-2026, 08:54 PM

Scheduled for March? Will this be the final Panini NFL product then?

Bosoxfan5990 · 01-29-2026, 09:33 PM

I'm excited for the "meaty batch of base cards."

I was kind of hoping for contenders/contenders optic. It was the only product i really was looking forward to. Not a rookie class to really rip imo. But i did want a couple guys with on card autos. I guess i will have to look for donruss optic.

They've seemingly got a couple more. Something new - Silhouette - is on the release calendar for after this one. Still missing Contenders too and that's been all but confirmed to be coming.

glassofwater · 03-02-2026, 01:22 AM

this set will not have any current players. only nil and retired players.

I remember when I was opening 2011 upper deck and thought it was really cool to get some Barry Sanders cards in college unis with 80's upper deck design. Now, Barry Sanders (and all the greats) gets college card every year. The same thing with regular prizm. Getting a Barry Sanders Lions prizm refractor use to feel cool.

FWIW if anything mockups show some retired in pro uniforms.

Lavar on the Redskins. Bring it.

Ok, how am I looking at this - am I seeing 6 autos per FOTL box?:

"Look for

6 Autographs including 5 FOTL-Exclusive Autographs #'d/15 or less
22 Base Prizm Parallels
2 Bonus FOTL-Exclusive Prizm Parallels #'d/35 or less
10 Inserts/Insert Parallels
per box, on average!"

Then lower, this is how it goes:

Look for 5 FOTL-Exclusive Autographs #'d/15 or less & 2 Bonus FOTL-Exclusive Prizm Parallels #'d/35 or less!
Look for 3 Autographs, 22 Base Prizm Parallels and 10 Inserts or Insert Parallels per box on average!

So which is it?

Pretty sure it's the top one you listed. Seems like 5 FOTL autos plus 1 additional. On paper, stated that way, it looks/seems awesome but I just looked at the checklists. Unless your main focus is retired vets and NIL then this chase isn't for you. Even the colorblast/dual colorblast checklists seem underwhelming to me. The Manga checklist has some cool names but without Brady, Mahomes, or any of the current RCs.....I don't see the larger overall appeal.

If this get down low enough I may try one box for fun, but anything north of $1000 is going to a bloodbath of sticker autos. We shall see I guess

Of course with BO doing their typical pre-release high priced pump I'm sure this will sell out at way way more than it's worth

This time it's worse than BO's usual bs. They are trying to trick people into thinking that it's a regular release with rookies and current NFL players. A day or two after release this is going to be selling for $600 or less. Usually it's an instant 15-30% drop. Not 40%+.

This would be a home run FOTL with rookies and vets or if presale was anything in the realm of reality. Unfortunately, I couldn't tell you the last FOTL that sold out under BO's artificially manipulated presale price. Should of put the house on Honors hobby.

phil · 03-09-2026, 07:40 PM

Logically this is worse than Prizm baseball now, which sells for $200 Hobby on a good day.

mossoholic · 03-10-2026, 12:08 PM

Well it worked! $1250 plus tax! Do these people not realize Prizm FOTL is selling for $1450 a box?!? To put this even more into perspective Black Basketball FOTL sold out for less! You could have bought 2 boxes of Honors Football hobby the other week for less.

phil · 03-10-2026, 12:49 PM

criminally dishonest to run it like it's just normal 2025 checklist Prizm Black. will be interesting to see how low Hobby ends up after it's out

Criminally dishonest has been the price manipulators motto for the last 6 years!

cypher · 03-10-2026, 07:52 PM

I kept hearing how great honors was going to be. There was only 1,000 cases produced! Then you watch a case break and it's a sticker dump. People shelling out $1k a box. Player break spots selling higher then NT/Flawless. Best hit of the case was a Baker Mayfield sticker to /5.

It doesn't matter the contents of these products released anymore. College jerseys? No problem. The pump machine is well oiled and running full steam.

People are paying what they are for Honors because of the Kaboom auto chase. There are a pretty good amount of them too.

If you think Honors hobby makes no sense, check out Honors FOTL. You get a base card /12 and an auto /15 or less. Realistically in a product that every card is /99 or less and no one cares about Honors base cards what are those worth? Maybe $75 on the base max? The auto maybe $200? A certain place in Buffalo is charging $1000 more per box! It was even more than that 2 days ago! Yes somehow they expect some moron to think those 2 FOTL cards make an Honors FOTL box worth the same as 2 Honors hobby boxes! Prizm FOTL isn't selling for even close to double hobby and that's with 4 shimmers /49 or less and an auto /35 or less!
