Some of the key rookies in this box include Reggie Bush, Matt Leinart, and Vince Young. 2006 Donruss Classics Football Cards are definitely a set that are worth the price to try and open a few packs or a box. The cards are very nice looking, and 2006 Donruss Classics Football will be a favorite among collectors, making it easy to trade and sell.
