Donruss Pen Pals Are Back

From Donruss.com:

In just its second year, National Treasures has become one of the most anticipated, high-end releases in the industry. The inaugural launch took home the equivalent to the MVP and Rookie Of the Year Honors, when collectors voted the program both Product of the Year and New Product of the Year.

So what do you do for an encore you might ask? Bring back one of the most popular inserts in hobby history…

2007 Playoff National Treasures will feature the return of Pen Pals, the popular insert that made its debut in 1998. In 2000 Preferred, Donruss created what many in the industry believe is the holy grail of autograph cards – the on-card quad signed Brett Favre/Peyton Manning/Dan Marino/John Elway.

This year, Donruss will bring back the popular auto’s with dual, triple and even quad versions (all signed on-card) of some of the hottest rookies from this year’s draft class.

“We knew we could not just sit on the success that Treasures had in ’06,” said Senior Football Brand Manager Ben Ecklar. “We listened to collectors request for more on-card autographs and felt this was one of the most popular on-card inserts we have ever created.”

Fourteen cards will find their way into packs of ’07 National Treasures, with the top single being a quad signed card of Brady Quinn, JaMarcus Russell, Calvin Johnson and Adrian Peterson.

“With the popularity and value these singles have on the secondary market, it made perfect sense for Pen Pals to make their return here in Treasures,” adds Ecklar.

PP-PL – Adrian Peterson/Marshawn Lynch/30
