You’ve found it! The epicenter of data for 2018 Football Card products. This report breaks down all of the 2018 Football products to help you understand which performed the best, have the most upside, and carried the most excitement. All of this with the idea of helping you enter 2019 with a clear awareness of the right Football card products to chase!! Let’s dig into the data.
HOW THIS WORKS?
What we’ve done is bring together multiple sets of data to help paint a clear picture of the landscape of 2018 Football Card products. We’ve brought together the following data points in once complete view:
- SEALED BOX: Factory Price (at price), Current Market Price, Interest within Market
- SINGLE CARDS: Volume of Sales, Highest Sale Prices, and Average Price per Card.
All of these help us boil down the data into three individual rankings per product.
#1. WAX MOVEMENT | How much has the sealed box prices shifted since release?
#2: MARKET INTEREST | How does the transaction volume compare to the rest of the products?
#3: AVERAGE PRICE PER CARD | How does the average price per card look in comparison to box prices?
#4: UPSIDE | How does the product compare in upside versus the rest of the market.
We then take these 3 and give you an overall score…which we break down into the TOP 10 products of the year.
Overall you’ll get a picture of the products that likely give you the most bang for your buck within the product range…and hopefully provide you with a good grasp on what the market expects from certain products. But before we dive in let me preface some of the realities of the market.
- Manufacturers don’t create products equal year over year. Just because a product was dominant one year, doesn’t mean it will produce the same results the following year.
- Player performances and draft classes play a huge role in the success of many products. Rookie dominant products with a poor draft class will likely have a tough year. Veteran dominant products with the inclusion of top-name autos will probably end up doing better than normal. Etc….
- This is a guide… not the law. Please understand the idea here is to help educate you with facts – like everything we do on BreakerCulture. But you should ultimately walk-away knowing that this meant to be a guide to help give you another edge in the marketplace. It’s not perfect and definitely not guaranteed to be indicative of pricing of future products.

- 2018 Average Price Per Card Loser | 2018 Panini Playoff Football
- 2018 Upside Loser | 2018 Panini National Treasures Collegiate
To round out the lists, here are the 5 products that surprised me.
OVERALL SURPRISES
BAD | 2018 Panini Flawless Football
Overall Rank: 40th of 49
I knew Flawless was a bit rough in football, but I didn’t expect it to end up this bad. The average price per box is up 70% from factory costs, but the average price per card and upside just don’t warrant the $1,700+ price per box.
BAD | 2018 Panini Spectra Football
Overall Rank: 23rd of 49
This was one of my favorite products of the season. Beautiful cards, lots of apparent interest, and initially a decent price point (for mid-to-high end). Well, here is the problem… it just doesn’t carry enough resale value per card. In fact it’s ranked 47th out of 49 when it comes to resell value at a singles level. Combine that with middle of the pack UPSIDE and PRICE % rankings and you have yourself a flashy but under-performing product.
GOOD | 2018 Panini Unparalleled Football | FIND SINGLES HERE!
Overall Rank: 12th of 49
I’m really excited to see Unparalleled do so well. This is constantly one of my favorite releases and I really want to see if become a staple product. Here is what it does well…. box prices doubled, volume is in the Top 10 and the Upside is surprisingly ranked #10. If you can get past the poor average price per card then this is a sneaky good product.
OVERALL RANKING!
