Box Break - 2007 Donruss Elite Football - Box 012007 Donruss Elite Football (Hobby) - 20 packs - 5 cards per pack Below are our video results for the box break. We also have photos of all the cards pulled, broken down by pack. Please enjoy the break!! 2007 Donruss Elite Product Overview Donruss Elite is one those rare long-standing, recognizable products in today’s hobby. Around for 15 years now, Elite has only gotten better with time. The 2007 issue is no exception providing collectors with a solid checklist of 100 veterans and 100 rookies. The insert yield from a hobby box of Elite is nothing to sneeze at. On average, you should find two rookies (#’d to 599), two relics or autographs, and eight inserts or parallels. And that’s not to mention the 88 regular cards you should get. 2007 Donruss Elite Base Set Overview In traditional Elite style, the base cards are printed on foil board and have the look and feel of what collectors have come to expect from Elite. Action photos of players are transposed over a new black, grey, and silver stripe background. Team names can be found at the bottom of the photo printed in small white lettering. Player names and the Elite stamp are printed in white in a black box at the bottom of the card. If you turn the cards to the side you can also see the word ELITE in the name box. Pretty nifty. The checklist contains the elite stars of the present day NFL: Peyton Manning, LaDainian Tomlinson, Brett Favre, Shaun Alexander, Reggie Bush, and more. As with past Elite sets, fingerprints seem to attract to the surfaces so be sure you handle these cards on the edges rather than the surfaces. But careful, the dark edges are also susceptible to chipping so make sure you keep these cards well-protected after opening. 2007 Donruss Elite Rookie Overview Each box of Donruss Elite should get you two rookies. With 100 to choose from, there is only a two percent chance of getting your favorite player. The good thing is that Brady Quinn is numbered the same as Joel Filani so collectors know they won’t have a harder time pulling out the best of the best from the draft class. The design for the rookies is similar but not identical to the veterans. They have a serial number in the upper left hand corner in silver foil and also have a refractor style effect across the front. Players are featured in college threads, but the NFL team names are on the cards which is a plus. In place of ELITE in the name box, there is the word ROOKIE. 2007 Donruss Elite Parallel Set Overview The popular parallels you’ve come to know and love return for the 2007 release of Elite. The Aspirations parallel mocks the entire checklist and is cut out along the stripe pattern and numbered to 100 minus the player’s jersey number. The Status parallel runs the entire checklist as well and is numbered to jersey numbers. The Gold Status cards are numbered to 24. 2007 Donruss Elite Insert Set Overview Inserts are plentiful in the 20 packs you get. On average they come every 2-3 packs. Most are printed on thicker stock and have different foil colors than the base cards. Popular sets from this year’s issue include Passing the Torch, Zoning Commission, Back to the Future, Elite Series, and Chain Reaction. Each of these sets is paralleled by either color, relic, or autograph and numbered to at most 1000. A drawback is that the colors can be confusing. Gold will be the most common in some sets yet the rarest in others. And most variations are only a few hundred lower in serial numbering. 2007 Donruss Elite Relic/Autograph Overview Autographs can be found of veterans and star rookies in Elite. But they are very hard to come by as most sets are insert parallels and numbered to less than 100. Relics are more plentiful and parallel many insert sets as well. Throwback Threads return once again to give collectors a chance to own a piece of NFL history. Chances are your two guaranteed auto/relic cards will be of the game-used variety. 2007 Donruss Elite Final Rating 2007 Donruss Elite gives collectors of all kinds an opportunity to find something they want just as Topps DPP did. For set builders, you should get about 88% of the base set and two rookies. The drawback is that there are 100 rookies and it would take countless numbers of boxes to complete the SP set. But completing the veteran set via TCN after your box break shouldn’t be a daunting task. For the rookie collectors out there, you probably will want to steer away from Elite. Getting only two or three rookies per box is nothing special to you guys. But if you do get a stud, you have one of their best non autographed/game-used rookies of the year so there is a bit of incentive. If you chase game-used and autos this is a little less of an appealing product. You get your guarantees and the chance to get rookies and HOFers so it’s not a bad pick-up, but also not the best. Donruss Elite does appeal to lots of collectors because of its known quality, but rookie chasers and auto/relic hounds probably would be probably disappointed in this product more times than not. And for set builders, this is an awful expensive product to purchase if you are on a budget. Yet, Elite is still one of the most anticipated and appreciated releases every year.
