2009 Donruss Threads Football Box Break Review Part 2

Hey guys, Drew back here, completely forgot about the second part of this review. Here is the grading of Mike and I's box of 2009 Donruss Threads Football:

Design: The base have a very plain look. Under the name, from that part on is pretty ugly. Not too great Panini, but some good inserts were included. Not a big fan of the Triple Threat inserts, but many parallels look good. The rookie selection has its ups and downs but by far the nicest design of a card in this set are the Gridiron Kings. These cards look phenomenal! I pulled a Knowshon Moreno out of 25 Gridiron King, and it's really nice (picture below) Design Grade: C+

Price: Many cards, should gt you close or the entire base set, for about $75 a pop. The prices have dropped like 5 bucks since we bought our box. A chance at 4 hits is pretty good. The hits are decent but that's for the next section. Not a great chance of getting your money back, unless you pull a Stafford or Sanchez auto. Price Grade: B

Hits: Well, I want to say they are awesome, but there is the one horrible part. I'll get to that. In our box, we pulled a Donald Brown RC Letterman autograph, an Archie Manning jersey card, a stinky autograph, and a Mark Sanchez/Matthew Stafford Dual RC Jersey /500. I'd hate to say it but the Manning is the best hit! If there was an autograph on the Sanchez/Stafford it would be nice. But, from the stupid NFL Premiere makes it kinda stinky! It sells well, but does it matter? Would these football companies quit doing this? It seriously ruins products! Hits Grade: B-

Overall: Well, not too bad. I'm happy, he's happy, we had fun opening the box, what more could you ask? Overall we got some nice hits, and it's a nice product, I'm being pretty tough but the base are cheap looking and I'm not too happy about owning those. Anyway, not too bad, not the best box I've opened, but not the worst either! Overall Grade: B+

There you have it!

2009 Donruss Threads Football Box Break Review

Hey guys, Drew back here, after Mike & I opened our box of 09 Threads football a few days ago, here is the recap:

PRODUCT CONTENT
24 Packs per Box
5 Cards Per Box
120 Cards Per Box
4 Hits Per Box, including 2 Autographs
1 Letter Patch Auto per box

The base set is 101 cards, and that Brett Favre big card everybody's talking about, this one:

Sorry, but it only is included in retail with a print run of 4,444 (Get it?). There are many insert sets, some are un-serial numbered but some are. Insert Sets like Gridiron Kings are only numbered if there is a different border around the card than this original. Pretty confusing huh?

MY BOX BREAK RESULTS (remember, I split this box)
Just about all of the base set
2 Normal Generations Inserts (Butkus-Urlacher, Stewart-Williams)

Both not numbered, Mike has the Butkus/Urlacher and I have the Panthers backs

The 1st one is Mike's, the bottom 2 are mine, not numbered

1 Century Legends (Jerry Rice)
2 Triple Threats (Falcons, Ravens)
1 Century Stars (Romo)
1 College Greats (Nate Davis)
All of these aren't numbered either, I have the Davis, and the Ravens, Mike has the Rice, the Falcons, and the Romo

3rd Quarter Spectacular- Split with Sweeny

Hey guys, Drew back here, and I have a new favorite product. Mike & I split a box of 2008 Upper Deck Baseball Heroes. For the 2nd Quarter Spectacular, I opened a box of this and had some good luck. Also, I pulled a sick card at Dragon's Den, one of my local stores in one pack! So, I already loved this product, but now I love it more! Here is the all new 2008 UD Baseball Heroes Box Break Review!

So, we got a really good box! I love my Gibson Dual with Jake Peavy, but Mike got a sick hit to add to his collection! Anytime you pull a Steve Carlton autograph you have some good luck. As for our other hits, my Kevin Kouzmanoff Relic was horrible, and now I have 2 autographs, and 1 relic of him! Mike also got a Harden GU, which isn't great but not too bad. So, I will grade it soon, but for now I will finish with this...
