Random Wax: 2020 Donruss Football Rookie Holiday Sweater Blaster

 2020 Donruss Holiday Blaster:  Merry Christmas!  I said I wouldn't do another one of these but I couldn't pass it up when I saw more on my local shelves.  And it is Christmas so it seems appropriate.  I'll mostly show off some highlights.  One good thing is there were only a few cards that were duplicates of the other blaster so that is a big win.  Let's start with some Joe Montana greatness in a Chief uni.

Some really good star power in this box including these guys.

This is a solid rookie pull for this holiday relic. Jeudy is one of the leaders in receptions on the Denver Broncos.

Justin Herbert has had some up and down games but he really looks like he will at some point be the franchise quarterback San Diego is looking for.

Some rookie inserts.  Both of these guys are having a good rookie campaign and Jonathan Taylor has looked really good as he leads the Colts in rushing.

I was very happy with my pull and think this blaster out did my first holiday blaster in regards to base cards.  

Can't say enough about how I really like that retro '90 design.

Retired greats!  Love finding these guys in the different sets.  I pulled the Denver Bronco Peyton in my last box so this was a nice find. Fun pull and plenty of good cards make this blaster a win.  I hope everyone has a great Christmas!

2020 Donruss Football Rookie Holiday Sweater Blaster

 2020 Donruss Football Holiday Blaster: Happy Thanksgiving!  I look forward to the holiday cards each year.  That said I was sorely disappointed when I opened this box.  Where are the candy canes?  Where are the Christmas Trees?  The tinsel?  The presents?  Not here.  The only holiday cheer here is the actual Rookie Holiday Sweater relic.  I'm done.  I did pull this CeeDee Lamb Red & Green parallel Optic Rated Rookie so that helps.  A little.  

I was happy with my pull.  Plenty of star power in this box.  Speaking of this box I was pleasantly surprised to find this one the shelf earlier this month.  Only grabbed one as my budget wouldn't allow for more.

Retired greats!  Definitely one of the reasons I like this set.  Love all three of these guys.  

Laviska Shenault Jr. is a WR for the Jaguars and already has 30 receptions for the season.

Donruss is happy to give rookies their due.  I really thought we'd see a better season from Ruggs but he's only a rookie so he has time to improve.

These Retro 1990 cards are favorites of mine.  I'll definitely hunt some of the singles.  I have even considered the set if it wasn't so expensive.

Was I disappointed I didn't get my expected candy canes and Christmas trees?  Heck yeah. Disappointed in this box.  Not really.  Great players combined with a good set is always good.  My rookie sweater pull was also solid.  We need more Jack Youngblood on new cardboard!
