Panini America’s Crown Royale Football, one of the most uniquely designed and instantly recognizable brands in the trading card industry, returns for the 2014 season just one day before Thanksgiving, giving collectors across North America plenty of cornerstone cards for which to be thankful. Crown Royale’s calling cards — the resplendent, hard-signed Rookie Silhouettes — return for a new season with 40 new subjects representing the impressive 2014 NFL Draft class.
We provided a must-see preview of just some of the Rookie Silhouettes and Silhouettes right here on The Knight’s Lance three weeks ago. Today, we’re providing a more detailed look at 2014 Crown Royale Football as a whole.
Each four-pack hobby box of 2014 Crown Royale Football will deliver one autograph or memorabilia card. The aforementioned Silhouettes will boast an array of variations this season, including Jumbo Silhouettes and Rookie Dual Silhouettes. Other highlights of the product include . . .
