2003 Prestige Football

Mike Eisner
Over the past few weeks, Donruss/Playoff has treated us to a double-dose of Prestige and based on the looks of it, the hobby has responded in a great way.

Jam-packed with short-printed rookie cards and memorabilia cards, 2003 Prestige Football was the first product to hit the market that contained cards of the recently drafted college class. From Carson Palmer to Byron Leftwich to Charles Rogers, this 210-card set has been on fire since it’s release last month.

There are 12 different autograph/game-used memorabilia insert sets available in this product with an appoximate insertion ratio of 2 per box. We scored game-used jerseys of Garrison Hearst and Brett Favre. Not bad considering the Hearst was serial-numbered to just 250 copies. We did pull 8 short-printed rookie cards, with the best being Chris Simms, son of ex-Giant legend Phil Simms. In addition to the jerseys and rookies, we pulled 6 serial-numbered inserts.

Overall, this product provides tremendous value for your buck. With a suggested retail price of $3.99 per pack, 2003 Prestige football has exceeded my expectations and continues to provide quality cards at a quality price point.
