By most accounts, 2011′s premiere edition of Playbook Football ranked as one of the most successful debut products in the hobby last year; certainly it kept popping up on best-seller lists in hobby shops across the country. But for the highly anticipated follow-up, Panini America is planning to pen an entirely new, completely engrossing chapter.
2012 Playbook Football releases in March and will be headlined by the fascinatingly re-engineered Rookie Booklet RCs, a shadow-box-type design featuring one jumbo prime-jersey piece, one jumbo jersey piece and an on-card autograph numbered to 149 or less (check out the preview below).
Every four-card box of 2012 Playbook Football will deliver one on-card-signed Rookie Booklet, one additional autograph and two additional memorabilia booklets; on average, three boxes in each 10-box case should yield three autographs (including one Rookie Booklet) and one memorabilia card.
Playbook’s base-set configuration includes 75 base cards, 100 Rookie Signatures and 35 Rookie Booklets, each with Gold, Platinum, Green and Black parallel versions.
