Panini struck a chord with collectors in 2012 when previewing its annual Father’s Day promotional set, as a new foil design captured imaginations. The Cracked Ice parallel, which Panini described as having a hypnotic, fractured-foil effect, instantly became a hit with collectors, who have continued to make the mesmerizing cards one of the most sought-after Panini Contenders parallels every year since.
With a foil background that looks like it came straight from a kaleidoscope, the Cracked Ice parallels experienced a surge in popularity in 2020. That year, the NFL Draft class had the most notable crop of rookies since Panini debuted the Cracked Ice effect.
