2017-18 Panini Absolute Racing Checklist

2017-18 Panini Absolute Racing features a 90-card base set covering the NASCAR season with no rookie cards included. The product contains 13 distinct insert and memorabilia sets, including autographed cards, race-used materials, and specialty subsets. Base cards follow the standard Panini parallel structure with Silver Prizm parallels and numbered versions scaling down through various tiers to one-of-one printing plates.

What to chase: Since this set contains no rookies, collectors focus on the memorabilia and autograph content, particularly the Absolute Memorabilia Signatures combining autographs with race-used materials. The Absolute Prime Associate Sponsor sets (numbered 1-10) offer different sponsor-themed memorabilia cards with varying rarity levels. Low-numbered parallels of star drivers and the Absolute Flag cards featuring race-used flag pieces represent the premium chase cards in this product.
