Playoff Prestige: Prestigious Picks
May 16, 2008

Playoff Prestige is the first NFL trading card release of the year for Donruss and hit streets this week. Shipping two weeks after the NFL Draft, the Rookie Cards contain updated team and draft information. Each hobby box will contain either FOUR game-used or autograph cards - guaranteeing ONE autograph and ONE authentic game-used collegiate jersey card.

The Prestigious Picks game-used jersey insert falls one per box and represents the largest group of collegiate game-worn jerseys the industry has ever seen. The set includes key picks such as Darren McFadden, Matt Ryan, Brian Brohm, Chad Henne, Chris Long and Felix Jones.

"To obtain collegiate game worn jerseys is a very difficult task, but to get over 50 is a massive undertaking that took us months to achieve," said Acquisitions Manager Joe White. "We feel that this is going to add a tremendous amount of value to the program and give something special for collectors to chase."

The game-used set is made up of the following:

Prestigious Picks Materials - Red (MAX # to 250 or less)
Prestigious Picks Materials - Purple (MAX # to 100 or less)
Prestigious Picks Materials - Green (MAX # to 75 or less)
Prestigious Picks Materials - Gold (MAX # to 50 or less)
