Our Thoughts:
I was excited to open this box of cards. After all 10 packs, 3 pulls and possible rookies of the 2009 class. After seeing what was in this box, I am going to say that I will not be purchasing another box of this product.
The first thing that disappointed me was the design of the set. I want the player's name to be clear, so there is no problems in telling who it is. I don't need the names weathered so there are bits and pieces missing. They do have mostly picture shots of the players, so that is a plus. Another pet peeve of mine came through in this product. If the player goes undrafted, do not include him in the set. Graham Harrell is the player that went undrafted. His rookie card has the Texas Tech logo and him in a Red Raiders uniform. There are too many parallels, but that is a trait that Donruss which has become Panini will continue.
I was hoping for one autograph out of the 3 hits that the box delivered, but I wasn't fortunate. I can't complain about the pieces of memorabilia that I did recieve. Manning, Bush, and Shonn Greene are recognized names. And I did smile when I opened one pack. It was pure quarterbacks. Kerry Collins, Peyton Manning, Graham Harrell, Donovan McNabb, and Tom Brady.
Box Value: 2 out of 5 stars.
