Part of the college-themed kickoff for the new NFL season, the 2017 Panini Contenders Draft Picks Football variations give collectors another option to chase. In addition to the possibility of short prints among the signed College Ticket subset, a large portion of the checklist also offers different images for top players, and that's where we come in.
While the 2017 Panini Contenders Draft Picks Football Variations checklist was provided by Panini, the details about how to spot them was not. That means it falls on collectors to know the difference and this guide is intended to help with that.

A total of 47 incoming rookies are found in the variations set along with the base editions. Adding to the appeal, some of the College Tickets are signed on-card for the first time. Both versions also offer the same assortment of parallels, noted below:
- Blue Foil
- Red Foil
- Bowl Ticket - #/99 or #/25
- Cracked Ice - #/23
- Playoff Ticket - #/15
- Championship Ticket - 1/1
- Printing Plates - 1/1 (x4)
Similar to the 2016 set, the differences are fairly subtle but many do incorporate home and away jerseys, making it more obvious. Because some players have as many as four versions, it will likely be a few days before the variations become clear across the entire checklist. A few are also redemptions, which makes those easier to distinguish since the version is indicated on the card.
The gallery below is a work in progress and nothing has been confirmed other than the final checklist. We are working quickly to identify and add cards to the guide and will note the variations as more cards surface. Please email us if you notice something different or any variations we are missing.
