This latest addition to the digital-to-physical trading card series captures a specific moment from the current National Football League season, with the final print run for the card determined only after the conclusion of the sales window on the official Topps website.
Print Volume Determines Jalon Daniels Card Rarity
The manufacturing process for the Jalon Daniels card includes a series of ultra-rare parallel versions that are unlocked based on the total volume of cards produced. According to company archives, the inclusion of ultra-rare Chrome and Opal Chrome parallels is determined by the total print run of the card:
- 50,000 copies or more: Collectors may find Chrome parallels numbered to /99 and /50, along with lower-tier variations.
- 100,000 copies or more: The potential pool expands to include Chrome parallels numbered to /25, /10, /5, and a 1/1 SuperFractor.
- 250,000 copies or more: This tier introduces Opal Chrome parallels numbered to /50, /25, /10, and /5.
- 500,000 copies or more: The highest production tier unlocks the White OpalFractor Chrome 1/1 parallel.
Topps Manages Distribution Through Online Platform
Topps manages the distribution of these cards exclusively through its online platform. Because the cards are printed on demand to match order volume, all sales are final. The company notes that visual representations of the cards are subject to change during the production process, and final print counts are not disclosed until the official sales period has closed.
To address environmental impact, Topps may consolidate multiple items from a single order into a single shipment. For larger orders, the company reserves the discretion to utilize bulk packaging. Customers are advised that Topps does not accept liability for potential typographical or printing errors on the final physical product.
Tracking the Football Archives
The specific print run for Card 48 will be published in the official Topps NOW® Football archives once the ordering window expires. This system allows the manufacturer to maintain a record of every moment captured throughout the NFL season. Collectors looking to verify their specific card’s rarity can cross-reference their serial number against these final archival totals once they are made public by the manufacturer.
