Thomas Edison and Thomas Jefferson will join Vince Young and Johnny Unitas in the National Treasures autograph and memorabilia card set, set for release just days before Super Bowl XLI.
Packs will feature seven cards total with six of them being either autograph or memorabilia cards according to the company.
The set will consist of 100 base cards, numbered to 125 each. The base set also includes ten different parallels with various swatches of equipment and autographs. The set is heavy on Hall of Famers from the distant and recent past including Jim Thorpe, Red Grange, Otto Graham, Johnny Unitas, Jim Brown, Walter Payton, Barry Sanders, Dan Marino, John Elway, Gale Sayers, Bart Starr, Joe Montana, Troy Aikman, Terry Bradshaw, Bronko Nagurski, Ernie Nevers, George Halas, Sammy Baugh, and several others.
"We spent over a year designing this program," said Donruss Playoff Senior Football Brand Manager Ben Ecklar. "Everything had to be just right before National Treasures was ready for release."
"We listened to the feedback and knew that to make this work, we had to have an emphasis on high-end autographs," adds Ecklar. "We guarantee that at least three of the cards in the box will come autographed by these historical figures or the top past and present NFL players."
Donruss Playoff exhausted all sources and spent countless hours acquiring and authenticating the cut signatures. The program will include autographs from historic figures such as Thomas Edison and Mother Teresa, as well as early presidents such as Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. Collectors can also find rare autographs of Hall of Famers like Walter Payton, Johnny Unitas and the first autograph/memorabilia cards of legend Otto Graham. This group of deceased Hall of Famers, historical figures and presidents will all be delivered in one product. National Treasures Donruss claims it will also feature more unique game-used cards and more high-end autographs than any program has in history.
