NEW SCHOOL COLLECTING

Boise State Football has partnered with Jacksons Food Stores to produce trading cards sold exclusively at Jacksons. Each pack has 14 cards and sells for $12.99, and there are limited edition autos in every 10 packs. This the largest trading card project for any college team in the country, and its existence is made possible by the NIL legislation that passed in favor of college athletes getting paid for their name, image and likeness. Which means Boise State players will get paid for appearing on these cards. Which also means you should expect more rare, exclusive college sports cards like this to appear in non-sports-card stores near you.
