A blaster box contains six packs, with four cards to a pack. The card design mirrors the standard 2017 Donruss football set, and some cards give a tip of the hat to the retro designs of Donruss’ 1980s baseball cards.
This is not an autograph-based product, so buying a blaster is not going to deprive the collector of any huge hits. The base set contains 100 cards, and there are an additional 50 rookie cards. Rounding out the “base” set are 50 more Rated Rookies.
In the blaster box I opened, I pulled 13 base cards, three rookies and four Rated Rookies. I also pulled pink parallel cards of Raiders rookie Gareon Conley and a Rated Rookie card of the Jets’ Chad Hansen. Pink parallels are exclusive to blaster boxes.
There were two inserts in the blaster I opened. One was a Gridiron Kings card of Todd Gurley, while the other one was a Rated Rookies card of Deshaun Watson.
The card design will please lovers of the shiny stuff, as they have a nice chromium finish. I previewed Donruss Optic football earlier this week for Sports Collectors Daily, so check there if you are looking for a more complete description.
