The Basics: The Super Jumbo packs are back with 78 base cards and 33 Chromes along with eight Refractors and an auto -- that's 600 cards per box just like last year while standard jumbo packs include 23 base, seven Chrome and two Refractors. ... The base set against will consist of 200 players with a rainbow that includes Sky Blue (/499), Purple (/250), Blue (/150), Green (/99), Gold (/50), Orange, Red (/5) and 1/1 Black as well as printing plates just like last year. On the Chrome side there will be standard Refractors, Sky Blue, Purple (/250), Sparkles, Blue (/150), Green (/99), Gold (/50), Orange (/25), Red (/5) and 1/1 Superfractors and printing plates. There will once again be image variations. Among the inserts will be Franchise Futures and Glimpses of Greatness with both having standard Refractors (/250) as well as Green (/99), Gold (/50), Red (/5) and 1/1 Supers. Joining them will be 20 in '20 card as well as Applied Pressure. The 20s will follow the same rainbow of parallels, while Pressure cards will have Atomic (/150), Orange, Red and Superfractors only. Jumbo box box-toppers will be Top of the Class cards (/99) with Gold, Red and Super versions as well as autographs (/35) possible.

Chrome Draft Pick autos will have the following rainbow -- Refractor (/499), Purple (/250), Blue (/150), Blue Wave (/150), Green (/99), Black (/75), Sparkle (/71), Gold (/50), Gold Wave (/50), Orange (/25), Red (/5), Red Wave (/5) and 1/1 Supers as well as 1/1 Black Wave and printing plates.
