2024 Donruss Elite Football has proven to be one of the most consistent brands in the industry. While there have been some changes and evolutions over the years (and decades), it’s one of those sets that usually keeps things in order for the most part. Simple foil designs, a deep checklist and some familiar inserts and parallels are some of the cornerstones that return. Hobby boxes deliver three hits — a pair of autographs and one memorabilia card. The 200-card base set isn’t massive but it does carry some depth, particularly when it comes to rookies. First-year players account for a full third of the checklist. They’re also short prints, landing approximately three per hobby box. The foil backdrops provide plenty of opportunity for parallel pop. While many are color-based, Aspirations and Status versions are among them as well. Something else that’s back is Pen Pals. These popular inserts are among rookies’ first on-card NFL autograph cards. Dual, Triple and Quad versions are also among the possibilities. Passing the Torch Signatures and Turn of the Century Autographs make return appearances as well. Among Elite’s memorabilia options is Throwback Threads and Throwback Threads Doubles.
