Looks very promising, Tracy. The elite die cuts look sharp enough to cut a steak!
And may I just say, nicely written! Your opening paragraph positively percolates pleasingly!
Ha! Really appreciate the kind words, Jamey. Glad you liked it. Love the fact that you appreciate the words as well as the eye candy.
Love the retro look!!
LOVE This set! I can’t wait to get my hands on some. I wish we could see more of the base cards, that’s what really matters to me. On the other hand, now they get to be a surprise when I add them to my collection.
Good point! It’s nice to see full basketball action photography again.
Looks very nice.i like the in Action Cards!
I guess Sheed is not in the Set? 🙁
Always a pleasure to see Donruss in any sport, I like the infusion of several elements from past sets into one product. Game Threads is a personal favorite for mem cards. Thanks Tracy!
Great job Panini, Donruss looks great! Me & my daughters have busted so many 2014 basketball boxes trying to pull a Andrew Wiggins auto but have had no luck yet. Hopefully we will get lucky when we bust open some Donruss next week & finally pull a Wiggins auto! Fingers crossed! Keep up the great work Panini!
Awesome product. Please make Joe Ingles and Elijah MIllsap RC’s.
Is John Wall the official spokesperson of Donruss? He was on the box the last time Donruss came out! I thought that was funny. Looking forward to this product! I hope there are some Nikola Mirotic in it!
i am a basic product kinda guy. This one is a great example of a basic product done well.
