2017-18 Donruss Optic Football Checklist

2017-18 Donruss Optic Football features a 200-card base set with 100 rookies integrated throughout. Key rookie cards include Josh Reynolds, Marlon Mack, ArDarius Stewart, DeShone Kizer, and Chris Godwin. The product includes 14 distinct insert and autograph sets spanning various themes from retro tributes to rookie-focused content. Base cards and inserts follow Panini's standard parallel structure with Silver Prizm parallels, followed by numbered tiers including Gold (#/10), Black (#/5), and Gold Vinyl (1/1).

What to chase: Chris Godwin rookie cards represent the strongest long-term value from this rookie class, with his base and parallel versions being the primary chase cards. The 1981 Tribute design offers nostalgic appeal, particularly in autographed Gold Vinyl form. Rated Rookies Autographs and the various Gold Vinyl parallels across all insert sets provide the highest-end content, with print runs typically under 10 copies. The Rookie Dual Autographs featuring multiple prospects on a single card offer unique collecting opportunities for team and positional collectors.
