2013 Topps Platinum Football is big on glamor and shine. This shows up big time in the Rookie Autographs portion of the set, one of the keys to the release. Every card comes with an on-card signature and a slick Refractor design. There are also a bunch of colorful parallels to add to the chase. Collectors should be warned, though. Some of the top names in the set appear to be short prints with only parallel versions and not basic autographs. While this may help values, it also makes landing them a lot harder.

The 2013 Topps Platinum Football Rookie Autographs checklist is big, coming in at 65 cards. This goes well above the usual 40-or-so names that are standard in most sets, having appeared at the NFLPA Rookie Premiere. This means a lot of lower-tier rookies.
Besides basic versions, there are several parallels:
- Black #/150
- Blue #/99
- Frost #/50
- Purple #/25
- Gold #/15
- Pink #/10
- Camo #/10
- Red #/5
- SuperFractor 1/1
- Printing Plates
That being said, it looks like distribution isn't equal for all players. Topps has not released specific print run info, but looking at what's popped up from the set thus, several players don't appear to have unnumbered base versions. For the most part, these are the bigger names in the set like E.J. Manual, Eddie Lacy and Geno Smith. Several Topps football products over the past few years have had similar situations.
Below we've got detailed 2013 Topps Platinum Football Rookie Autographs info, including which cards we suspect are short prints. There's also a massive image gallery and a full checklist including team info.
