Parallels are one of the staples of any Prizm release, and this year will be no different. Parallels of the top names and rookies can gather some series money, especially when scarcity kicks in. There is no shortage of parallels for collectors to find, including: Blue, Red, Snakeskin, White Disco, Pandora (/400), Orange (/249), Pigskin (/180), Green Scope (/75), Gold Sparkle (/24), Gold (/10), Gold Vinyl (/5), and Black Finite (/1).

Color Blast inserts headline rare pulls
A returning short-printed insert this year is the Color Blast. These cards feature the player front and center on the card, with a multitude of colors that are exploding behind them. These are inserts that have some great eye appeal, and have been sought after by collectors for a number of years.
Dual Color Blasts also feature in the product, and they take on a similar design. The only difference is that two players are on the card, with the team logo being in the middle. Once these start to hit the open market, it will be interesting to see how much demand they get.
Rookie Autographs to be a key element of the 2025 release
Rookie autographs will be the primary hit that collectors will be seeking, and the rookie patch autographs will be at the front of mind. A preview image of an Ashton Jeanty version of the card was shared, and it features a Nike swoosh as the patch. While rookies from the 2025 class have had many patch autographs during the hobby release season, Prizm versions can be quite collectable.
2025 Panini Prizm Football is quite the anticipated release among collectors, and this may be the last edition with the NFL license. Collectors who decide to purchase some of the product can look for numerous parallels, autographs, and inserts. With the Super Bowl right around the corner, it is fitting that Prizm will be releasing the same week. 2025 Panini Prizm Football is currently slated to release on Monday, February 2nd on the Panini website.
