Panini invigorates the 2010 NFL Season with the introduction of Epix Football. Using "HoloEmboss", Epix delivers a whole new look to the trading card community.


HoloEmboss- is an award winning technology which creates a unique foil appearance without the use of holographic foil. The hologram appears on top of the printing as opposed to underneath, giving it a subtle and unique appearance.


It is so cool that they are even using it on the display box.
New - Autographed Memorabilia, Field, Letterman, Canton Letterman, Saints Letterman or Cowboys Letterman fall an average of 11-15 cards per case - that is close to every box having a premium autographed card of a truly unique insert program!   -  http://www.cardclubusa.com/
