A brief interview with Panini America NFL Brand Manager Carlos Torrez on the making of 2011 Elite Football

What in 2011 Elite Football should collectors be most excited about?
The new crop of rookies and the triumphant return of a few favorite Donruss inserts from yesteryear such as Legends of the Fall, Power Formulas and Hit List.

When you set out to put a set like Elite together, what is your ultimate goal?
When building a program like Elite or any program, I always look to provide the most value for collectors. I also look to see what worked in past Elite programs and try to bring back key elements that make collectors keep visiting their local hobby shops.

What is your favorite part of 2011 Elite Football?
The addition of Throwback Thread booklet cards and new, fresh pairings in the legendary Passing the Torch autograph set.

First Look: 2011 Donruss Elite Football

Instructions:
This group break is going to be done as a team draft break. After you post your interest in a slot number, I will put your name in the list. After it is filled and paid, I will randomize the MEMBER SLOT LIST. That will give us our team draft order. After we get that order, each member will draft an NFL team based upon the draft order. All slots must be paid by Paypal as gift. Otherwise, anyone could join, not get the slot they wanted and try to file a claim. I can't risk that. Any payments received not as gift will be refunded minus a $2.81 cancellation fee that Paypal charges.

Cards will be divided as follows:
1. All cards will be sorted via the team whose jersey the player is pictured in.

2. If a card displays a player in a jersey other than an NFL jersey, the card will be added to the pile of the team listed on the card. Should there not be a team, player will be placed with his current team. In the event the player does not have a team, card will be assigned to former team.

3. In the event there are multiple players pictured on the card, the card will be randomly given to one of the teams pictured/listed.

4. In the event a redemption is pulled, they will be randomly given to one of the piles in the draft unless the redemption specifically states the player(s) the redemption is for.

5. Base cards will not be given unless requested. If requested, one (1) of each team player will be given.

The price for each individual slot is $40 delivered. This covers the case, shipping, and new toploaders/sleeves/teambags/bubble mailers for these cards. People outside of the U.S. are welcome to join, however, delivery confirmation isn't affordable on packages going outside the U.S. I can't be responsible if these get lost, but I would be happy to get international tracking if you pull something really nice and wanted to get that security of having it tracked at your expense. The packages will be properly packaged and supported by myself and sent with DC. Insurance is OPTIONAL. If you would like to purchase insurance, you may. Otherwise, I am NOT responsible for damage done by the USPS.

There is a limit of four (4) slots per member.

Once you have posted your interest in a slot (pick a slot position), I will post the trade with payment information inside. Once you confirm the trade, IT IS A BINDING DEAL & the trade must be confirmed within 24 hours. Payment is expected within THREE DAYS of confirmation. If you do not pay before the three days expire, you will lose your slots. If you pay and the group break doesn't fill, a proper refund will be given! That will get this process rolling much faster!

If you trade or sell your slot to another member on SCF and you post a trade in the trade manager for the transaction, the cards will go to the original owner of the slot who will then be responsible for shipping the cards to the new owner of the slot. This prevents anyone from receiving feedback for technically not doing anything. You may also just post in this thread that you are trading slots and I can ship to the person who actually chooses the card when we are finished.

Once all members have paid the product will be ordered and the randomization will occur. The randomization & break will all be done live via blogtv to make it available to everyone at www.blogtv.com/people/rchurchward
