A national collecting holiday is coming. A new installment of the iconic National Treasures Football brand is one the way. And when Panini America’s 2014 National Treasures Football arrives in early April, it will pay tribute to the stellar 2014 NFL rookie class, the game’s biggest current superstars and the NFL’s all-time legends like only one of the industry’s most prestigious products can.

We gave you a preliminary glimpse at the impending juggernaut on Super Bowl Sunday by showcasing some of the early Rookie Cards in their unsigned state. Today, we’re going to delve a little deeper into what collectors can expect. Each eight-card box of 2014 National Treasures Football will deliver two Base, Rookie or Legend cards numbered to 99 or less, three autographs and three memorabilia cards.
