The term “March Madness” will take on a decided football feel this year with the release of 2011 National Treasures Football, the ultimate high-end NFL trading card set that releases March 21 equipped with more history, more collectibility and more “wow” factor than ever before.

Oh, and 2011 National Treasures also will deliver the longest trading card in history, a unique 36-cards-in-one booklet creation that features autographed jumbo jersey pieces from every player who attended the 2011 NFL PLAYERS Rookie Premiere. When the card is unfolded, it will measure almost 12 feet long.

Simply, you’ve got to see it to believe it — and we’ll provide the world exclusive first look at it right here on The Knight’s Lance when the time is right. Until then, though, we can share everything else about 2011 National Treasures Football. Trust us, it’s quite a lot.
