This card set features images of football players mixed with four highly stylized prehistoric animal backgrounds (i.e., a Pterodactyl (Pteranodon), Stegosaurus, Triceratops, Tyrannosaurus). There is also a goat animal symbolizing the ‘greatest of all time’ which is only used with Patrick Mahomes. There are 46 football players, each of which has a separate card with each of the four extinct animals.
Each card has an unautographed version (base card) and an autographed version (chase card). The ‘True Color Match’ parallels (unautographed and autographed) include 92 cards, two poses for each of the 46 players. There are 232 different unautographed Patrick Mahomes goat cards each with a unique goat background design and another 232 different autographed Patrick Mahomes goat cards each also with a unique goat background.
Finally, each card has several parallel versions using various combinations of the colors and patterns summarized below.

NOTE: In 2024, Wild Card also released the ‘Alumination Pre-Historic Football Cards’ edition which excludes two players in this set (i.e., Jared Goff and Jordan Love) and includes seven players not found in this set (i.e., Baker Mayfield, Brock Purdy, Gunner Stockton, Matthew Golden, Phil Mafah, Rob Gronkowski, and Treveyon Henderson).
Apologies in advance to sports card collectors but the focus of this website is extinct animals and therefore the checklist below only includes samples of the animal designs regardless of player, background color, and/or background pattern. |
