2017-18 Panini Preferred Football Checklist

2017-18 Panini Preferred Football features a 59-card base set with no rookie cards included in the main checklist. The product focuses on veteran players and includes 15 distinct insert and autograph sets. Base cards follow Panini's standard parallel structure with Silver Prizm versions and numbered parallels descending through various tiers down to 1/1 printing plates.

What to chase: Since the base set contains no rookies, collectors should focus on the rookie-specific insert sets including Activ8 Rookie Jerseys and Jumbo Rookie Silhouette Jerseys for first-year players. Key chase cards include low-numbered parallels of the Chain Reaction inserts, which span from First Down through Fourth Down with multiple printing plate variations. The Preferred Pairings dual-player cards and Championship Fabric memorabilia inserts represent the premium hits in this mid-tier product.
