Just in time for the Super Bowl, Donruss is releasing the second installment of its Playoff National Treasures line. In addition to the standard short print rookies, autographs, and jersey cut cards, the set will once again also feature cut signatures from hall of famers and historical figures, including presidents (like the Benjamin Harrison shown).
Each pack promises six autograph or memorabilia cards out of the seven cards in the pack. And the set does feature a LOT of prime cards. In addition, the set features some signifcant advances from a technological stand point–perhaps most importantly, the set marks the debut of Donruss’ unique partnership with Kodak aimed at combating fake patch cards, with the inclusion of Kodak’s invisible Tracerless Anticounterfeiting system on all prime jersey patch cards.
While the single pack boxes have a suggested retail price of $500 a piece, there are already some listed for as little as $350 on eBay.
Our Take: Not surprisingly, if we’re not willing to pay $150 a pack for Topps Performance Football, I don’t think I’ll be dropping even $350 for a pack of National Treasures. At the same time, I really like the look of the set–and the enhanced security. So if I happen to come into some money in the next few weeks, who knows what might happen?
