1. Panini: The King of NFL Cards (Collection)

Panini has had the exclusive rights to NFL cards for many years (although Fanatics/Topps will take over the rights in the near future). The most popular series are:

  • Donruss / Donruss Optic: Famous for their "Rated Rookie" cards. These are the most iconic cards for emerging star players.

  • Prizm: The gold standard for collectors. Everyone here is hunting for "Silver Prizms" and colorful parallels.

  • Score: This is often the most affordable set and the one that most resembles a traditional TCG, with lots of statistics on the back, but it lacks a formal game rulebook.
