Panini Illusions Football is back for its sophomore season in 2018!

Panini has shared early info on their sophomore football release – 2018 Panini Illusions Football. A pleasant surprise among the new releases last season, Illusions combines the theme of 1990s/2000s design with current card technology. This combination proved to be a hit with collectors and fans alike last year and we are excited to see what’s in store come October!

The base set is one of the unique feature found in Illusions showcasing a current player as well as a former player from the same team.
