Will Donruss Elite Extra be strong or weak?

Woodsy · 12-04-2011, 11:12 PM

Just wanted to get some opinions. I'm a big fan of Donruss EEE and was wondering if you guys think it will be weak or strong. One positive is that it will have Rendon and Hultzen which BDP did not have. Cons is that it is coming out after BDP, or maybe that is a plus.

Will Leaf Metal and Valiant hurt it's market share?
Thanks guys.

ehh, elite is what it is, a second rate product. very fun to bust. desirable auto's. sticker auto's, some on card. it's par with leaf. elite has such a high print run on each auto compared to leaf, and leaf is all hits and all chrome and all on card. if you like foil, go with elite. i know for sure i am going to do 2 or 3 boxes the first week it is out, beyond that it is always a fun bust all year and boxes will never get more than pre-sell. with the ultra-high print run we should be all busting it for 3-4 years. seriously.

personally i dont touch this stuff, i never really liked the looks of the cards...and would much rather have the bowman 1st card auto instead

2010 was a GREAT product when it was <$1200/case. i would expect most case busters to balk at $2k for 2011 so it will likely drop like a rock also (after 60 days or whatever the MAP time period is).

I think the 2010 design is substantially better than this years, although they do have the all the big names so it will be interesting to see the sales of this stuff. I usually bust some but I can't say that I will be busting any at all this year.

I'm really liking the on-card autos but $100 a box might be a little much.

I might bust a box or two if the price goes down to like $75-80 a box...the checklist is pretty solid.

No wax, but I'll definitely be going after quite a few singles.

Kudos to Panini for actually venturing outside the 1st & Sandwich rounds when pursuing autographs.

Let's just hope there are as few redemptions as possible this year, especially since this releases in December, unlike last year (September).

I don't see EEE doing very well at all. IMO, the best years for EEE are when BDPP has a weak auto checklist and this year isn't one of those years.

Plus it always has come out before BDP, so it was a teaser for the coming BDP autos and the EEE autos did well until that point.
