2006 Beckett Football Awards
March 28, 2007
It was announced last week that Playoff National Treasures won Product of the Year. This marks the third year in a row that Donruss Playoff has been voted Product of the Year by collectors. In '04, Playoff Contenders won the prestigious award and Leaf Limited took home the hardware in '05.
"With memorabilia and/or autographs from just about every vintage player that matters, National Treasures is the most comprehensive retired player product ever produced, and it shows with the awards it claimed," says Beckett Football editor David Lee. "Congratulations to Donruss Playoff on a well-deserved Readers' Choice Product of the Year Award."
This week, the annual "Best of 2006" issue of Beckett Football was released and Donruss Playoff took home a host of additional awards. A complete list of awards can be found in the April '07 issue of Beckett Football, now available at hobby shops, retailers or www.beckett.com.
