CARDBOARD REVIEW:2019 Donruss Football (extra hit and a case hit!)

Whoa doggy. I know a lot of you complain about Panini and their baseball products but one of my favorite products they have for baseball was Donruss. The inserts look stunning and the hits flow out better than any other baseball product for the low cost.

Now that Donruss is back for Football, I was hoping for the same and it did not disappoint. I may rate this in my Top 5 favorite breaks of the year so far and it may actually be number one currently.

Let's see why I felt this way.

Each box of 2019 Donruss football comes with 18 packs of 10 cards each. There is one autograph and one relic card per box and boxes are pretty affordable at $70 per.

BASE:

There are 350 full color photo cards in the base set. Action shots included also included,

Legends of the game

 And rookies

Along with the 50 Rated Rookie Futures.


VARIATIONS:
There are Variations to find in the base set as well that feature a different photo on the front than it's base card. On the back has a V by the card number. I show an example below.

OVERALL:As affordable as a box break can be. Tons of numbered and colored parallels. Two hits if not more per box. Tons of both rookies and veteran hits to chase with Superstars like Tom Brady as well for autographs. A fun base set to build and the Rated Rookie to bring you back in time.

This is by far my favorite break of 2019 and I had a lot of fun opening up every pack. Each one had it's own surprise and I can't wait to find some more to bust. This is box break you must do yourself and not have a breaker do. Too much fun to miss out on.

I hope the retail breaks are just as much fun.

However, if you do use a breaker, I strongly recommend using Midwest Box Breaks for your breaking needs. They are always hitting the big pulls so if they are breaking this, you could put yourself in a good spot. They also SHIP ALL CARDS! Get what you pay for!

Please thank Panini America and Tracy Hackler for providing this box for me to review to giveaway some of the hits ON TWITTER!! Please follow them on all social media sites and visit their website for all your card needs, HERE.
