Panini Contenders football cards listed but not seen for sale

@69vikesfan said:
Each year I collect the Minnesota Vikings rookie cards that are part of the Panini Contenders Football set. I attempt to collect as many versions as possible ( playoff, cracked ice, etc). This year, 2023, there are two players who are listed in the set but have not had their cards released as of today. Does anyone know of this happening with other players or any reason behind this?
The two players are Mekhi Blackmon and Jaquelin Roy. These are no redemption tickets and their cards have not shown up on Ebay at all.

Thanks,
Steve

Blackmon has a couple 2023 Contenders listed here on COMC but nothing for Roy:

Sidenote: Roy has actually been a decent surprise for the Patriots defense since getting called up from their practice squad.

The ones shown are Optic. I am looking for the Panini Contenders. I would call them plain but there is no such card anymore.

Sorry, didn't know that there's more than one Contenders product. If you haven't already done so, maybe try asking here at the Blowout Cards Football BST section. Good luck. https://www.blowoutforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=30

You could also try the Panini Rewards site. A lot of older autographs end up on there.
