🏈 Dalvin Cook 2017 Panini Donruss Optic #193 Minnesota Vikings Rookie RC — PSA 10 Gem Mint — Fort Lauderdale, Florida — Florida State Seminoles — 2017 NFL Draft 41st Pick — 4x Pro Bowl Running Back — The Chromium Standard for a Vikings RB Icon — Professional Sports Authenticator Gem Mint Certified

🏈 Donruss Optic is Panini's chromium-process answer to the standard Donruss football set — a product that takes the Donruss design framework and produces it on the same glossy, refractor-capable stock that makes chromium cards distinctly different from their paper counterparts. The 2017 Panini Donruss Optic set was the debut of this format for the Donruss football product line, and card #193 — Dalvin Cook's rookie card within that inaugural chromium Donruss set — represents a first-of-its-kind artifact for one of the most productive running backs of the 2017 NFL Draft class. This PSA 10 Gem Mint example meets the perfect-condition standard across all four PSA grading criteria. Condition: NOS.

🌟 Fort Lauderdale, Florida — Florida State Seminoles — The 41st Pick

Dalvin Cook was born on August 10, 1995, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and played his college football at Florida State University — one of the premier running back programs in college football — where he established himself as the most dynamic back in the ACC and one of the top rushing threats in the country. The Minnesota Vikings selected him in the second round of the 2017 NFL Draft with the 41st overall pick, bringing him into a Vikings offense that would build its running game around his physical skills and his ability to do damage both between the tackles and in the open field as a receiver. Condition: NOS.

🏆 4x Pro Bowl — The Minnesota Vikings Running Game Defined

Dalvin Cook earned four Pro Bowl selections with the Minnesota Vikings, establishing himself as one of the premier running backs of his era. His combination of rushing production, yards after contact, and receiving ability out of the backfield made him the focal point of the Vikings offensive scheme, and his four-year run of Pro Bowl-level output placed him alongside the most productive backs in the NFC during that period. The 2017 Donruss Optic #193 rookie card documents the beginning of that run — the draft year that started the Vikings chapter. Condition: NOS.

⭐ Donruss Optic — The Chromium Finish and What It Means for Collectors

The chromium production process that defines Donruss Optic creates cards with a glossy, light-catching surface that differs fundamentally from standard paper card stock. The Optic finish makes the card more visually dynamic under light, produces more visible refraction in parallel versions, and creates a surface that grades differently under PSA criteria — chromium surfaces are evaluated for a specific kind of gloss integrity that standard stock does not require. A PSA 10 Gem Mint grade on a chromium card means that gloss surface, in addition to centering, corners, and edges, met the Gem Mint standard. Condition: NOS.
