2024 Donruss Elite Football

2024 Elite:  We'll kick this one off with Buffalo Bills legend Thurman Thomas.  One of my favorite Bills players and one of the big reasons the Bills went to four straight Super Bowls.  My Bills jersey is a Thurman Thomas jersey.
I know you see lots of blue and pink wavy lines behind the players in these scans.  What that equates to in hand, is just silver foil.  That's it.  These are very boring in hand.  Yes, we get the minimum requirements - brand logo, team logo and the player's name and team along with a photo.  The photos are fine, actually good.  No issues there.  But other than that, these feel very blah.
A The Elite insert as well as pink parallel.  I don't normally care for pink parallels, but I like the Justin Jeferson card in pink.  The Payton Wilson card is my only RC and another pink parallel.  Only one in a 30-card pack?  Feels light.
The backs aren't special, but we've seen worse.  At least there's color.
I'm happy with my pull.  There are 200 cards in the set.  Numbers 101-200 are rookies.  So, half the set is rookies, but I only get one in my pack?
I won't pick up more packs of this one, but I could look for singles.
I do love seeing the retired greats.  We'll end it with my all-time favorite player, John Elway.
BREAKDOWN:
30 – Total Cards
7 – Retired Greats
3 – Pink Parallels
1 - RC
1 – The Elite

  1. Even though he has been out most of the season, my favorite is Payton Wilson rookie card. The Steelers still have high hopes for him.
