We’re not going to tell you what we had to do to get it, but we’ve managed to procure a box of 2009 Donruss Elite Football almost a full week before its official release date.
Join Beckett’s own pigskin-loving freaks Dan Hitt and Tracy Hackler for the world premiere box bust of 2009 Donruss Elite Football.
It’s fun, informative and you might just win an Elite autograph card.

David Carradine, the star of Kill Bill as well as the the 1970s television series Kung Fu, was found dead Thursday in a Thailand hotel — an apparent suicide according to one published report.
The 72-year-old actor’s collectibles resume includes autographed cards in the 2000 Charmed Season 1 set as well as the 2004 Alias Season 3 set, both from Inkworks. The Charmed card sells for approximately $30.
Donruss Americana, which arrived in hobby shops on Wednesday, includes Carradine’s largest assortment of trading cards, including the one above (numbered to 100) that we pulled from a review box last week.

This year’s version of SP Legendary Cuts has arrived in hobby shops and there’s a couple of new twists with the cuts, according to Upper Deck.
First, each individual cut will be numbered to at least five copies — helping satiate those who are interested in trying to collect an entire set without any 1/1s making it a virtual impossibility.
This year’s set also includes some interesting dual and quad cut combo cards, which include a mix of tough signatures and cards like a Connie Mack-John McGraw managers card and a Harry Frazee-Jacob Rupert owners card among the highlights.
Here’s the dual and quad checklist:
