BEST AUTOGRAPH INSERT SET

WINNER: PANINI CONTENDERS ’00 ROOKIE TICKET AUTOGRAPHS

The 2000 Contenders set design certainly has drawn a ton of attention thanks to the incredible record-setting sales of Tom Brady’s Rookie Card from the set. The ’00 Rookie Ticket Autographs uses the 2000 Contenders design with each card numbered to 20 with an on-card autograph. All the top rookies are in the 20-card set, with a Gold parallel numbered to 10 and Platinum version numbered to 1.

CLOSE SECOND: DONRUSS OPTIC RATED ROOKIE AUTOGRAPHS

Since 2016, Donruss Optic’s Rated Rookie Autographs has been one of the most coveted autograph inserts every year. The on-card signature combined with the strong Rated Rookie brand make it stand out. Regular cards are numbered to 150, and of course there are many parallels starting with Silver numbered to 99.
