Topps will be trying to capture the magic of the 2011 NFL rookie class with its latest product.
Magic Football will be available as an online exclusive beginning Jan. 25. Each mini-box will contain a pack and will cost $19.99. The twist this year is that each mini-box will contain an autograph.
There will be 68 different autographs that can be found, including Cam Newton, Andy Dalton, Christian Ponder, A.J. Green and DeMarco Murray. In addition, there will be 1/1 Black Magic parallels (a black-bordered version of the base set) and Black Magic cut signatures (silver-inked, cut signatures of the top rookies).
In addition to the autograph card, each mini-box will contain 10 base cards. The base set will include 110 cards.
Newton looks like it will be the prize card in the set.
Collectors can order through http://www.shoptopps.com.
