As expected, no big hits over the last six packs. The final tally was 124 cards in the box, including 105 of the “common” card set (as Donruss is calling it), which means it is 70% complete (or just a hair better than Chris at the Orlando Sentinel did).
The inserts included:
– one Bronze Century Proof (serial numbered to 250) – Dallas Clark #026/250
– two rookie cards (serial numbered to 999) – Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie #447/999 & Pierre Garcon #611/999
– one rookie Bronze Century Proof (serial numbered to 250) – Ryan Torain #236/250
– one College Gridiron King Red Border (serial numbered to 100) – Ernie Wheelwright (#087/100)
– one Bronze College Gridiron King (serial numbered to 250) – Early Doucet (#152/250)
– two College Gridiron Kings – Mike Hart, Early Doucet
– one Pro Gridiron King – Donovan McNabb
– one Century Stars Jersey (serial numbered to 250) – Eli Manning (#013/250)
– two Century Stars – Brian Westbrook, Larry Johnson
– one Century Legends – John Elway
– one Dynasty – Joe Montana, Jerry Rice, Roger Craig
– one Generations – John Stallworth & Santonio Holmes
– one Jersey card (serial numbered to 250) – Carson Palmer #147/250
– one Rookie Collection Materials (serial numbered to 500) – Mario Manningham #015/500
– one Rookie Letter Patch Auto (serial numbered to 100) – Matt Ryan #020/100
Overall, a great box thanks to the Ryan auto–and I do actually really like the design again this year, even if they do take the less is more approach to the extreme on the backs.
I do have a second box, but I’m going to hold off opening it for a bit–we’ll see how long that lasts.
