Autographed rookie nameplates highlight one of the year's first football card products.
2009 Donruss Threads football became available nationwide Wednesday. The annual release now includes four hits per box, according to Panini America. The majority of Threads boxes will contain two autographs and two memorabilia cards.
Highlighting the program is the return of Rookie Class Rookie Cards that feature autographed nameplates. Rookie Class autographs, sequentially numbered to 399 or less (based on the players last name), will fall nearly twice as frequently as last year according to the company, offering up to eight hits per 12-box hobby case.
The illustrated Gridiron Kings insert set will also make its return. Featuring some of the game’s top NFL and college legends, Gridiron Kings highlights players like Jerry Rice, Jim Brown, Joe Namath and Steve Young in the Pro version while Aaron Curry, Mark Sanchez and Matthew Stafford debut in the collegiate version.
Late Tuesday, Panini announced it would include a Brett Favre Minnesota Vikings cad in the product, but only through an exclusive distribution deal with Target and Wal-Mart stores.
