Signatures galore — including the trademark Rookie Patch Autographs — and ample memorabilia return for another round in 2021 Panini National Treasures Football. Sitting at the top end of the sport’s high-end mountain, hobby boxes include three autographs and three memorabilia cards among its contents. That’s at minimum. According to Panini, many boxes will have more.
2021 Panini National Treasures Football Checklist Overview
The checklist kicks off with a 100-card base set covering top NFL veterans. Each is numbered to 99 with additional Purple (/50), Gold (/35), Holo Silver (/25), Holo Gold (/10), Emerald (/5), Printing Plates (1/1) and Platinum (1/1) parallels available. Cards also have Jersey Number parallels. Print runs on these vary, matching the number the player wears.

Also part of the larger main set are the Rookie Patch Autographs. As far as hallmarks go, nothing changes. Signatures are on-card, premium swatches are oversized and base versions have 99 copies. Historically, as far as modern products go, these rank as a player’s top Rookie Card. Among the parallels are Green Jersey Number, Holo Silver (/25 or less), Midnight (/20 or less), Holo Gold (/10 or less), Black (/5 or less), Printing Plates (1/1), Red (1/1), Red Brand Logo (1/1), Red Laundry Tag (1/1), and Platinum NFL Shield (1/1).

Autographs, Memorabilia Cards and Other Inserts
Crossover Rookie Patch Autographs (/99 or less) use designs from different sports and years and apply them to the 2021 draft class. Holo Gold (/25 or less), Brand Logo (/2 or less), Laundry Tag (1/1) and NFL Shield (1/1) versions are also on the checklist.

There are also Crossover Rookie Patch Autographs Dual booklets that double up the players, signatures and swatches. Standard versions have no more than 10 copies each with one-of-one Platinum parallels also available.

Rookie First Edition Signature Booklets (/99 or less) make their debut. These open up to showcase both an autograph and a massive memorabilia piece.

2021 Panini National Treasures Football has additional rookie ink among its other inserts. Rookie Signatures Field Pass (/99 or less) use action photography. These have a handful of parallels including Gold (/25 or less), Holo Silver (/10 or less), Black (/5 or less), Platinum (1/1) and Printing Plates (1/1).

The Future (/25) returns with a new batch of first-year signatures done on acetate stock.
