The Panini America Quality Control Gallery: 2014 Select Football (144 Revealing Pics)

As the 2014 NFL season sprints into the heart of playoff-positioning season, it’s safe to say that things are heating up on the field. Obviously, it’s pretty hot in hobby shops across the country, too. Even as Panini America’s most recent football releases — including 2014 Limited Football, 2014 Totally Certified Football and 2014 Crown Royale Football — continue fanning the collecting flames with key cards honoring one of the most impressive rookie crops in recent memory, company officials are gearing up for some epic final stages of the 2014 product season.

Next up: 2014 Select Football, the Optichrome-based, Prizm-packed powerhouse that releases in hobby shops across North America on Wednesday. Each master hobby box of 2014 Select Football (two mini boxes per master) delivers — on average — four autograph or memorabilia cards and four Prizms. In addition, scarce Rookie Mojo mini boxes fall roughly once per case and will include exclusive Rookie Mojo Prizm cards.

There’s also a cool interactive component to 2014 Select Football surrounding the set’s Super Bowl Champion, Offensive Rookie of the Year, Defensive Rookie of the Year and MVP inserts that we’ll have complete details on early next week. For now, though, sit back and enjoy this comprehensive sneak peek at some of the Select gems that surfaced during the recent Quality Control Process.
