One box 2009 Donruss Elite

Continuing in the non-baseball, non-Hanley card indulgance, here's a box break for a football product. It's also here on Sportscard Forum. I might get pics up later but then again, these cards aren't that pretty.

Hits:
#25 Prime Targets Jason Witten Jersey 152/299
#25 Chain Reaction Larry Johnson Patch 33/50
#135 Everette Brown rookie auto 93/299
#194 Tom Brandstater rookie die-cut auto 24/24

Rookies:
#117 Cameron Morrah 643/999
#144 Jared Cook 05/84
#166 Bear Pascoe 662/999
#167 Michael Crabtree 578/999

Inserts:
#34 Elite Series Patrick Willis 579/999
#6 Passing the Torch Don Maynard/Dustin Keller 741/999
#21 Chain Reaction Antonio Gates 350/399
#3 Zoning Commission Brandon Marshall 149/399
#25 Prime Targets Jason Witten 160/399
#10 College Ties James Laurienaitis Brian Robiskie 231/399
#1 Stars Drew Brees 114/199
#4 Prime Targets Anquan Boldin 14/199
#18 College Ties Michael Crabtree 165/199

Overall, not my favorite football product (for reference, I'm a fan of the Leaf Certified Materials from last year. Don't know what that says about me other than Sportscards Uncensored would want to probably punch me in my face). The base cards are ugly. The inserts are, eh, alright. I could do without die cutting, since it just means there are more corners to have to protect. The patch LJ is a nice three break. The autos are obviously misses. Overall, I'd give it a solid C.

Anyway, I'll get back to Hanley baiting soon.
