What’s Buzz-worthy: This discount bin find didn’t wow me as well as the last one ripped here — that one delivered very, very well — but I still think this average box still shows how this edition of Panini America’s Donruss NFL brand is a fun one. These boxes offer a decent sampling of that brand with a taste of a different set — hobby packs — that can help bolster things. This box’s biggest highlights are probably the framed Gridiron Kings cards but there is plenty to potentially find in this box considering last year’s strong rookie class.
Product Grade: A- (2016 Donruss)
Box Grade: C (an average box)
Fun Grade: B
