2020 Panini Absolute Football Forum

No real issue here.  Just a comment from me.  I have several of the color parallels of the same card.  For the red, green, and blue parallels, the only difference from the base (actually retail) version is that the nameplate and absolute logo at the bottom of the card are the appropraite color.  Then I came to the yellow parallel.  For that version, the outside frame of the card is actually colored yellow.  Just thought it's weird that Panini would color the border for the yellow but not for the other cards in the rainbow...

Yellow foil stamping would probably be confused with gold depending on the shade used, and it probably wouldn't look that great on the card.

I agree, but to me the two obvious solutions to that would be to either not have a yellow parallel or to color all of the parallels like the yellow ones.  It just seems like a strange decision to have one card in the rainbow colored and the others silver with only small foil differences...The yellow parallel looks a lot better to me.  I'd rather have a color parallel where the color jumps out at you than one where you really have to look to see a slight foil color variation on the logo and name.

Yeah, I can't really tell what color parallels (is this pink/magenta/purple?) I even have until I submit them and get corrected.

These yellow parrallels are not distributed like other parallels. You can only get them in the dollar packs at dollar tree and a few other locations. They were not inserted into retail blasters, hangers, or gravity feed. So they technically are not the same type of parallel, they are an exclusive parallel to dollar packs. To note they are added one per pack typically in 5 card pack with 2 rookies and 2 vets.
