My 2017 Donruss Racing Review
This weekend, my LCS received permission to release the 2017 Donruss Racing cards. So I couldn't resist picking up two boxes. Before I give my opinions, check out their own review here: https://blog.paniniamerica.net/2017/...s/#more-173594 as well as the checklist here:http://www.cardboardconnection.com/2...r-racing-cards
With Panini back behind the racing wheel in 2016, racing cards have once again picked up some steam. Right from the green flag, Prizm came out charging with a great look and lots of hits. However, something fell flat between Torque and Certified release which did little to set up National Treasures. With the high price point, National Treasures delivered high quality cards but I think the release date hurt Torque, Certified and National Treasures. For some odd reason, they released them AFTER the season ended. So that brings us to 2017 Donruss...
Admittedly, I had my apprehensions about this pre-season card. After my local card shop posted about an early case release, I was back in! Scooping up two boxes, here are some of my thoughts. With 24 packs per box and 10 cards per pack, that's a hefty 240 cards per box. The base set is just over 100 cards so prepare for many doubles and triples. On the flip side, every pack had at least on hit with many packs having two hits and even a couple triple hits. The cards look sharp and came out of the pack crisp. As expected, many subset inserts for collectors to chase while plenty of chances for fans to collect their PC driver. The inserts, autos and memorabilia cards arrived as expected with one auto and two mems per box. The autos appear sharp and I like the rubber relics. Personally, the fact that the rubber relics match the race team colors felt like a nice touch. Both boxes supplied 12 numbered cards, varying from /999 to /99, with various colors and SPs. Overall, this is a great box for the price. It may not generate the same buzz as Prizm but a solid start to the new season.

Wow! I called 2 shops, one didn't order any because of too much 2016 stock collecting dust and the other didn't get their shipment. Guess it's Blowout for me too.

I opened one box today at LCS. He had 5 or 6 boxes but I hit 1/1 auto so I stuck with one box. Nice looking cards.
