2017 Donruss Football - Retail

Here's the last pack of four from my Target retail spree.  This is 2017 Donruss Football.  Cover pictures are sticking with the NFC North -- Aaron Rodgers and Mitch Trubisky.  These are 8 cards for $1.99 in the retail format.

#187 - Franco Harris - This is a nice starting card to pull out.  Good to see some legends in this pack (it won't be the last).  The design is pretty solid -- a nice big player picture framed by team-color diagonal accents in the back.  You also get a team logo that is unobtrusive and the player's name with the Donruss logo at the bottom.

The backs don't do the standard Panini "repeat the picture from the front" -- instead, they give you an oversized team logo, a small write-up, and a teeny stats box.  Not the worst I've seen, but nothing to write home about.

 

#60 - Randy Moss

 

#252 - Jeremy Maclin

 

#213 - Eddie George

#57 - Marvin Jones

#263 - Ndamukong Suh

#298 - Joe Thomas

#327 - Patrick Mahomes - Rated Rookie - Always nice to see the classic RR logo!  Mahomes is in a great situation in KC...Alex Smith is running things to give him time to learn and grow.

And that's it for this pack!  I really like the design on these.

Recapping the four 2017 retail packs:
Best:  I'm going to have to go with 2017 Score -- Good inserts, good design, and a great value.
2nd:  I will say this pack - 2017 Donuss.  I really like the design on these and the inclusion of several "legends."
3rd:  2017 Panini Prestige - These are nice looking, but I didn't see much value in the pack.
4th:  2017 Panini Football - The design on these was ridiculous and forced every player into a "keyhole."

Until next time, you can check out my infrequent postings at Royals and Randoms.

Take care!
