2019 Panini Phoenix Football cards fire in a lot of ways. While not one of the company’s more premium lines, it does bring a lot of varied content. Hobby boxes have multiple autographs, a memorabilia card, lots of inserts and even more parallels. All the while, rookies average out to one per pack.
Overall, it’s three hits per box, two of which are autographs.
2019 Panini Phoenix Football Base Set Basics
The base set is a slow burn with 200 cards. The checklist mixes rookies and veterans evenly. Like past Phoenix sets, the design is one of the bolder ones of the season.
Parallels combine to land one per pack. The rainbow is a big one encompassing Silver, Red (/299), Pink (/199), Purple (/149), Orange (/99), Yellow (/75), Blue (/35), Green (/25), Black (/10), Printing Plates (1/1) and Gold (1/1).

Color Burst parallels return. These land at a rate of one per box. There are also tough Fire Burst versions, which are one per eight-box inner case.

Rookies also have additional autograph versions. While the Silver versions do not have serial numbers, other Rookies Autographs parallels do: Pink (/99 or less), Orange (/49 or less), Blue (/25 or less), Green (/10 or less), Black (/5) and Gold (1/1).

Additional Autographs and Memorabilia Cards
Of the three hits in each 2019 Panini Phoenix Football box, one is usually a rookie autograph memorabilia card. RPS Rookie Auto Jersey cards are where many of these come from. Base versions are numbered to 299 or less. Additional parallels land in Orange (/199 or less), Yellow Prime (/75 or less), Green Prime (/25 or less), Blue Super Prime (1/1), Brand Logo (1/1), Laundry Tag (1/1), and NFL Shield (1/1).

RPS Rookie Auto Dual Jersey cards (/149 or less) double up the memorabilia pieces. Parallels are similar to single-swatch versions only Orange copies are noticeably more scarce with no more than 125 copies each.

Rising Rookie Material Signature cards bring in different types of memorabilia beyond regular jersey swatches. Football are the most common with print runs of 199 and under. Getting tougher are Gloves (/99 or less), Helmet (/50 or less) and Helmet Logo (/25 or less). There are also one-of-one Vapor Jet, Team Logo, Nike Swoosh and NFL Shield versions.
