We’ve got football news bigger than Tom Brady unretiring in this week’s DA Drops.
Let’s get it!
Football
Hopefully, the top line got you to continue reading because we have to talk about a pretty popular Panini football release.
By now, if you’re a fan of football cards, especially of the Panini kind, you know Limited.
Great news, we are finally getting the 2021 Limited release. It’s due out on Wednesday (March 16).
Limited continues to feature Rookie Patch Autographs (RPA) of the top rookies from each draft class.
In this edition, collectors will look for the studs from the 2021 class, including Ja’Marr Chase, Jaylen Waddle, Devonta Smith, and Kadarious Toney. And that’s just the receivers!
Also available is the Ring of Honor Autographs featuring some of the biggest names in football history.
Panini says 2000 Limited Tributes and the super short print 2000 Limited Tribute Limited Edition case hit are new to this year’s product.
Limited will also feature booklets with two and four-player combos in Partnership Duals and Quad Signatures Booklet. There are also Draft Day Signatures Booklets of some of the top rookies.
RPA variations that feature oversized “prime” jerseys are also in 2021 Limited, according to Panini.
There are three packs per box and five cards per pack.

Baseball
We’ll also get to see the release of Break King’s latest baseball product this week.
2022 Break King Premium Baseball Hobby Box is due on shelves this Wednesday.
This product contains two cards per box, one of which will be an autograph.
Break King says all the cards in this product are from Rookie or Prospect years.
Hockey
It’s nice to have some hockey to write about following the Sabres picking up the victory over the Maple Leafs in Sunday’s Heritage Classic in Hamilton, ON.
However, this is not your average Upper Deck NHL release.
Due out this Wednesday is 2021/22 Upper Deck AHL Hockey.
2021/22 AHL Hockey is a 150-card base set with 50 rookies. Besides that, Upper Deck says there are up to three parallel sets, including Exclusives (#’d to 100), High Gloss (#’d to 10), and, of course, Autograph.
On average, each pack contains one Star Rookies card.
Upper Deck also says collectors can find three insert sets, AHL All-Rookie Team, All-Stars, and Captains.
Collectors should look for Red, Gold (#’d to 25), and autograph parallels of each set.
There is at least one autograph per box. 2021/22 AHL Hockey comes with 12 packs per box and ten cards per pack.
Also, in hockey, Upper Deck is releasing the six-pack blaster version of 2021/22 Series 1 on Wednesday.
Look for Green Dazzlers inserts in the blaster boxes, which are “brightly colored” cards featuring a “full-bodied active star popped-out (no background) on patterned foilboard,” Upper Deck says.
Upper Deck says there is one Young Guns card in every four packs on average in the blasters.
The Canvas version of the Young Guns is one in 96 packs.
Gaming
As is tradition, we’ve got to get our fill of new gaming products.
Sadly, this week it’s only one. Nonetheless, it’s a brand new Yu-Gi-Oh! Speed Duel release.
Just like the Speed Duel: Battle City Box, Konami says the new Speed Duel GX: Duel Academy Box allows up to eight players to jump into their own dynamic tournament experience.
Konami also says it includes a “static pool of around 200 cards to construct various popular strategies from, most of which are brand new to Speed Duel.”
In this new box, Yu-Gi-Oh! enthusiasts can look forward to:
- Brand-new Skill Cards introduce legendary Duelists from the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX anime to Speed Duel! Become “Elemental HERO” enthusiast, Jaden Yuki, fulfill your destiny as Aster Phoenix, teach the class a lesson as Dr. Crowler, and more
- Heaps of new cards for Speed Duel to add to the Speed Duel Deck you already have or discover new strategies to try out
