While the detailed short print information is not yet known, spot the different 2016 Panini Contenders Draft Picks Football Variations using our guide below.

Although previous releases took pity on collectors and made it relatively easy to immediately distinguish the versions with a subtle number placement or logo change, the 2016 Panini Contenders Draft Picks Football Variations appear to only offer image differences so collectors need to pay extra attention. The detailed guide below aims to clear up any confusion with a side-by-side comparison for all 39 cards that include variations.
Both versions include sticker autographs but the variations are normally short printed by a noticeable amount. Despite this, both the base College Ticket Autographs and Variations include seven levels of parallels. At this point, we have listed all images together until we can be certain which is the base and which is the variation. Thankfully, we do at least know which players are included as they were provided on the final checklist.
As this guide is a work in progress, we are identifying and adding images as quickly as possible. Nothing is confirmed by Panini and we are going ahead largely based on the cards to surface online. Please email us if you see something we are missing.
