Panini Releases FIRST Brett Favre Vikings Football Card
August 25, 2009

Panini America announced today that the company stopped the presses this weekend in order to include the FIRST trading card of Minnesota Viking’s quarterback, Brett Favre, in its August, 2009 retail release of Donruss Threads Football. Favre pulled on the purple #4 jersey for the first time last Friday night in the Vikings preseason victory against the Kansas City Chiefs. Panini America dispatched a photographer to the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome with the sole intention of creating this historical card.

With production of hobby boxes in their final distribution stages, the Favre card was inserted exclusively into Wal-mart blaster boxes and packs.
