By most accounts,
Panini America’s premiere installment of
Black Football in 2012 delivered some of the most attractive designs of the season, a striking mix of rich, black themes and shimmering foil treatments that created cards that were as fun to look at as they were to pull. For

The result is a stunning sequel that includes jumbo, prime-patch 1/1 autographs, the already-ballyhooed
Shadow Box Jersey autographs and more. If you thought
