Downtown inserts rank among the most popular in all of football cards. Panini includes them in multiple sets, each taking on a bit of a different spin. Donruss Optic gives the illustrated inserts a chromium spin. This extends to 1/1 Gold Vinyl parallels for 2022 Donruss Optic Downtown. These carry the same gold circle pattern as Superfractors. They're one of four parallels for the chase set and they only one-of-ones along with White Sparkle, which were available separately.
Tom Brady, playing in his final season at the time, is naturally one of the top cards in the set. Pictured in a Buccaneers uniform, the card carries a pirate theme.
The desirability of Downtown cannot be understated. Alongside Kaboom and Color Blast, the rank as some of the key cards in the hobby, particularly when autographs and premium memorabilia are excluded. The combination of a 1/1 parallel and iconic player extend this card's importance.
