2009 Donruss Gridiron Gear Retail Box Review

Donruss Gridiron Gear has been a very popular brand with card collectors over the last couple of years. This product is popular for its distinct game-used and autograph cards from current players and retired legends. Some of the game-used cards are actual patches from the jerseys and that also makes this brand very popular.

This is a retail box of 2009 Donruss Gridiron Gear review. This box was purchased from Target for $19.99. In each box there are 8 packs and each pack contains 5 cards. There is no guaranteed autograph or game-used card in this box. Here is the pack breakdown from this box:

Pack 1:
Kyle Orton base
Braylon Edwards base

Overall this box was rather disappointing. Donruss should at least put in more inserts since boxes cost $20. Even though the box was a disappointment the cards are nice and they have a great feel to them. The design is very clean-cut and simple but still appealing. If you would like to put this set together or if you are looking for autographs and game-used, then you should definitely buy a hobby box instead of a retail box. The hobby boxes cost around $80 but you are promised 3 autographs or game-used. You can purchase hobby boxes of this product here: www.blowoutcards.com/index.php. Good luck with your boxes and your cards!
