What’s Buzz-worthy: I’ve busted several of these now that they’re occasionally popping up in discount bins simply because they’re a super-cheap rip that can occasionally deliver something beyond just basic cards. This one was closer to the norm, but it still had enough name power to be interesting between the past and present stars in the Donruss base set, its inserts and then on some of the framed Gridiron Kings inserts. For more details on this one, poke around here on The Buzz for the other breaks. (There have been a few for this one.)
Product Grade: A- (2016 Donruss)
