Panini America 2015 Donruss Baseball Main

Panini America’s iconic Donruss Baseball brand enjoyed a resurgence of epic proportions in 2014, a return-to-form tour de force that reintroduced classic Donruss nuances to a new generation of collectors in a product that still resonated with old-school collectors, too. The good news for everyone involved: 2015 Donruss Baseball looks to pick up right where last year’s triumphant release left off.

Set to release in late February, 2015 Donruss Baseball will be draped in historically classic designs and inserts (such as Donruss Preferred, All-Time Diamond Kings, Production Line, Signature Series and more) and will feature the return of Original Donruss Buyback Autographs (including Panini America’s first-ever certified autographs of Ichiro). Each hobby box (eight cards per pack, 24 packs per box) will deliver three autograph or memorabilia cards and more than 50 inserts or parallels.
