2014 National Treasures Football (April release)

2014 National Treasures Football



Panini America's high end product is set to arrive in early April and along with it comes high anticipation from collectors to get their hands on "premium" cards from the 2014 rookie class!  What makes this product so interesting is the wide mix of Rookies, vets, and Hall of Famers.

In the days prior to the case breaking phenomenon, (yes, collectors did consume product before this new dimension of ripping) National Treasures was a product that was tough for the average collector to get their hands on due to price.  Many of us were left to buy singles on the secondary market or pickup product that was busted by shops, etc. Now that case-breaking is here to stay, it allows us a shot at ultra high end cards for just a fraction of the cost of a case--which typically run $400/$500 a box.  This product has become a favorite for collectors, because unlike other rookie heavy product, collectors are assured the chance at pulling vets or Hall of Famers and those athletes that sign very little cardboard! While the 2013 rookie class left a lot to be desired, the product was still widely consumed due to the fact that there were numerous gems to be had.
Here is a look at a card that I pulled from a break in 2013 National Treasures:
