#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!
