The 2023 football season is shaping up to be one of the most exciting seasons in recent memory. With new rookie talent entering the league, established stars looking to solidify their legacies, and teams vying for playoff spots, there's never been a better time to get into group card breaks. Here's a look at what collectors can expect from the upcoming season and how group card breaks can enhance the collecting experience.
Rookies to Watch
As is the case every year, the new crop of rookies entering the league will be a major focus of the football season. The 2023 draft class is expected to be particularly strong, with several potential franchise quarterbacks and impact players at other positions. Quarterbacks like Sam Howell, Spencer Rattler, and Malik Willis are all projected to be high draft picks, while players like Kayvon Thibodeaux, Evan Neal, and Derek Stingley Jr. are expected to make immediate impacts on defense. Collectors can look forward to chasing after their rookie cards in upcoming releases like Panini Contenders Draft Picks and Panini Prizm Draft Picks.
Established Stars
While the rookies will be grabbing headlines, there are plenty of established stars who will be looking to continue their dominance in the upcoming season. Players like Patrick Mahomes, Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, and Russell Wilson will all be among the most sought-after players in group card breaks. Collectors can expect to find autographs, game-worn memorabilia cards, and rare parallels of these players in upcoming releases like Panini Certified and Panini National Treasures.
Team Outlooks
The 2023 season will also see several teams vying for playoff spots and potentially even a Super Bowl championship. Teams like the Kansas City Chiefs, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Green Bay Packers, and Los Angeles Rams are all expected to be among the favorites to contend for a title. Collectors who are fans of these teams will have the opportunity to chase after autographs and memorabilia cards of their favorite players in group card breaks.
How Group Card Breaks Enhance the Collecting Experience
Group card breaks offer collectors a unique way to experience the thrill of opening packs and chasing after rare cards. By joining a group break, collectors can share in the excitement with others and potentially even split the cost of expensive hobby boxes or cases. Group breaks also offer the opportunity to trade cards with other collectors and potentially even find new collecting buddies.
In addition to the social aspect of group breaks, they also offer the potential for big hits. Collectors who might not have the budget to buy entire boxes or cases on their own can still potentially land a valuable card through a group break. And with multiple participants in a break, the odds of hitting a big card can be higher than if opening packs on one's own.
Conclusion
The 2023 football season promises to be one of the most exciting seasons in recent memory, with new rookies, established stars, and playoff contenders all vying for attention. By participating in group card breaks, collectors can enhance their collecting experience by sharing in the excitement with others, potentially finding new collecting buddies, and potentially even landing big hits. As the season approaches, collectors should be on the lookout for upcoming releases from Panini and other manufacturers and consider joining a group break to enhance their collecting experience.
