CAUTION: Hardcore football collectors, especially those with an affinity for drool-worthy rookie autographs, may want to sit down before reading any further.

OK . . .

Panini America today released exclusively to Beckett Media the stunning ensemble known as 2009 Pen Pals, a 31-card, 84-autograph insert slated to drop in the late-January release of 2009 National Treasures Football.

Pen Pals, annually one of football’s  most sought after autographed inserts since its inception way back in 1998, first made a splash in the industry by pairing prestigious penmanship from some of the top quarterbacks of all time on one card. More recently, the insert has evolved to focus on rookies.

For football collectors, this year’s Pen Pals insert — with its on-card signatures and ink-color variations — no doubt will rank as one of Panini’s biggest coups from last May’s NFL Players Rookie Premiere.
