Keep reading for more info and a gallery of images.

The Basics: The split format here means two inner cases per case with one being Black and one being White and inside each of those are guaranteed autos from C.J. Stroud and Bijan Robinson (four per overall case) and inside Black cases there are also shots at Red Chase boxes and inside White cases are shots at Blue Chase boxes. All cards are limited to no more than 25 copies in both colors. Chase boxes will include those parallel colors as well as Gold, Silver, Green and Purple. ... As an authenticity device, all cards will have a a foiled "on-card auto" logo on each card back. ... Among the finds will be Rookie Heat, X-Plode, Weekend Warrior, Smoking Guns and Thumbagraph cards. The first three will have eight parallel colors per set -- see the breakdowns in the gallery -- atop there being Black/White versions as well as the Chase box versions. The Guns cards will have 10 parallels as will the Thumbagraphs, which carried actual player thumbprints last year and figure to this year as well. Just 31 players are included in this one with only 10 signing on for Thumbagraphs (noted below). ... The roster includes Bijan Robinson, BJ Ojulari, Brian Branch, Broderick Jones, Cameron Ward, Cedric Tillman, Chase Brown, CJ Stroud, Clark Phillips, Dalton Kincaid, Darnell Washington, Deuce Vaughn, Devon Achane, Jahmyr Gibbs, Jake Haener, Jalin Hyatt, Jaren Hall, JL Skinner, Jordan Battle, Josh Downs, Kendre Miller, Kenny McIntosh, Malik Cunningham, Marvin Mims Jr., Michael Mayer, Myles Murphy, Tank Bigsby, Trenton Simpson, Tyler Scott, Zach Charbonnet and Zay Flowers.

The updated checklist of signers can be seen below along with updated preview images fresh from Wild Card.
