Description
This is a raw 2005 Donruss Certified Materials football card featuring DeMarcus Ware, one of the most dominant linebackers in NFL history. The card belongs to the 'New Generation' subset and showcases Ware during his early career with the Dallas Cowboys, who selected him 11th overall in the 2005 NFL Draft. The front of the card features a vibrant gold foil design with Ware's image in his Cowboys practice uniform, along with the Cowboys team logo. It is serial-numbered as 05/25, making it an extremely rare short print with only 25 copies produced. The back of the card includes detailed statistics from Ware's collegiate career at Troy State, along with an insightful write-up about the Cowboys’ need for a pass rusher, which led to their selection of Ware. Despite light surface wear visible under close inspection, the card remains in near-mint condition, with sharp corners and strong centering.
