2024 Topps Inception Football sees another one of the company’s modern brands return to the gridiron. Like its original run that debuted late in Topps’ run with the NFL license before Panini’s exclusive, designs are as colorful and abstract as ever.
The focus on autographs remains heavy as well with a pair of signed cards in every seven-card hobby box.
2024 Topps Inception Football Checklist Overview
Like Topps’ other 2024 football products, most of the checklist is split between retired greats and rookies. A couple of veterans have snuck in as well, but not many. First-year players account for 50 cards in the base set.
Parallels, which combine to fall two per box, include:
- Green
- Purple – /125
- Magenta – /99
- Red – /75
- Orange – /50
- Gold – /25
- Blue – /10
- Inception – 1/1
Autographs and Inserts
Shifting into the premium content, the checklist has four different themes for autographed memorabilia: Dual Rookie Relic Autographs, Franchise Foundation Relic Autographs, Provenance Patch Autographs, and Rookie Jumbo Relic Autographs.
Parallels for these include Green (/150 or less), Purple (/125 or less), Magenta (/99 or less), Red (/75 or less), Orange (/50 or less), Gold (/25 or less), Blue (/10), and Inception (1/1).
Genesis and Dual Rookie Relic Autographs are both book cards. Both sets have eight levels of parallels, all numbered to 99 and under.
Rookie Autographs make up a lot of the product’s other signatures. Both these and Rookie Autographs Variations have Green (/150), Purple (/125), Magenta (/99 or less), Red (/75 or less), Orange (/50 or less), Gold (/25 or less), Blue (/10) and Inception (1/1) versions.
Silver Signings (/100 or less) use silver ink for a bit of a different look. Gold Ink (/25) and Gold Ink Inscription (1/1) parallels can also be found.
Dawn of Greatness Autographs (/20 or less) feature superstars with images from early in their careers. Orange (/10), Blue (/5) and Inception (1/1) are the lone parallels for these.
The 2024 Topps Inception Football checklist has four different memorabilia sets: Freshman Initiation, Relics, Rookie Jumbo Relics and Source Materials. In each instance, base versions have no more than 150 copies. Parallels come in Purple (/125 or less), Magenta (/99 or less), Red (/75 or less), Orange (/50 or less), Gold (/25 or less), Blue (/10 or less) and Inception (1/1).
Two case hit insert sets round things out. Both Launch and Initiation feature both rookies and top stars.
