Futera is a card manufacturer that more collectors in the United States should become familiar with. Last year they teamed-up with Onyx Authenticated to bring collectors 2019 Onyx/Futera Unique Baseball Prospects & Legends. A collaboration such as this is almost unheard of in today’s hobby. For many U.S.-based collectors this was their first introduction to the type of cards Futera creates. I tried a pack and pulled a Julio Pablo Martinez 24ct Gold-Plated Metal Framed Phenoms Auto #’ed/9. Unless he turns into the next Mike Trout, this card will remain in my personal collection just because of how well it was made.
I can’t talk about Futera without bringing up their Code for Collectors and Memorabilia Color Grading Services. Code for Collectors allows you to see all of the details that went into making your specific card – photo of the card, date signed, materials used in making the card, etc… Color Grading Services will tell you how many cards from certain sets have 1-color, 2-color, 3-color, etc… relics in them. U.S. collectors would love to have services such as these. They certainly help with identifying altered cards.
European football (soccer) is what Futera is really known for today. 2020 Futera Unique World Football is their next product set to release. (4) packs come in a box, with a hit in every pack. Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar, Kylian Mbappe, Virgil Van Dijk, Antoine Griezmann, Sadio Mane, Pele, and Diego Maradona are just some of the key players you’ll find.
Until now the only images we’ve seen have been the mock-ups made for the sales sheet. Sports Card Info was recently given a glimpse inside this product, and received actual photos of the cards to share. No mock-ups here. These are the real deal. Enjoy!
