2024 Panini Black Friday Checklist

A multi-sport hobby promotion with sport-coded base cards and chrome chases.

Overview

Panini’s Black Friday collection brings professional stars, incoming rookies and collegiate prospects into a compact promotional release. Its separately numbered groups span football, basketball, baseball and NASCAR.

What's in the checklist

• Base: One hundred listed cards are divided among Football, Basketball, Baseball, NASCAR, College & Prospects and Rookies.
• Parallels: Foil and color versions add numbered chases. Base autograph versions apply to selected cards; exact availability must be identified for the individual subject.
• Inserts: Rookies Opti introduces a chromium finish, while the separate Insert roster has different starting print runs.
• Autographs: Hall Kings and Private Signings add coaches, Hall of Famers and other athletes, with card-specific limits.

Notable subjects

Caitlin Clark, Victor Wembanyama, Patrick Mahomes II, Paul Skenes, Angel Reese.

Grading considerations

Check foil surfaces for scratches, print lines and clouding. Preserve the sport or letter code when identifying a card; repeated initials can belong to different players. Check thick autograph stock and numbered areas for handling wear. This is general guidance only; a checklist confirms which card you have, not its condition or grade. See our grading scale.

Every code and name is taken from Panini's checklist, with 165 rows in total. Basketball runs BK1 to BK29; there is no BK30. Each base group is listed with Holo /150, Red /125, Blue /50, Purple /25, Orange /15, Gold /10, Green /5 and Black /1 versions, plus an autograph version numbered to 25 or less. Panini does not say which cards have the autograph version, so no autograph rows are added for the base groups.

Repeated codes belong to different players and are kept with their subjects: AT (Amen and Ausar Thompson) and JM (J.J. McCarthy and Joe Milton III) in Rookies Opti, and CC (Caitlin Clark and Charlie Condon) in the Insert roster. Insert cards are numbered to 99 (20 cards) or 50 (7 cards), shown on each card. The final eight Private Signings carry their own runs (26, 21, 12, 31, 10, 10, 15 and 13). Panini lists them under "Hall of Fame Private Signings" even though those subjects are not Hall of Famers, and that label is kept. Team names are left off the card rows. No release date is shown; the PDF was posted in November 2024, which is not a street date. This is a separate product from 2025 Black Friday.
