Earlier today, we grabbed one early hobby box of 2015 Donruss Baseball for the purposes of the following Teaser Gallery that takes you pack by pack through 24 entertaining packs. Our haul from this particular box included one autograph, two memorabilia cards, 13 Donruss Preferred inserts, 12 Elite inserts, five Diamond Kings, four Rated Rookies, four 1981 inserts, four Press Proofs, three The Rookies and eight additional inserts or parallels.
Combine all of that with a captivating array of old-school nuances, a glossy finish and some great photography and you have all of the ingredients for another classic rendition of a classic product. Check it all out in the gallery that follows and stay tuned to The Knight’s Lance for continued coverage of 2015 Donruss Baseball.
This was one of my favorite products to rip last year, but as someone who is primarily interested in set building, I was disappointed to have wasted time and money hunting down the short-printed Diamond Kings and Rated Rookies when the factory set was announced. Now a larger portion of the set is short printed (DKs, RRs, and the 1981s accounting for 95 out the 245 cards) and I’m really struggling with plunking down the cash for a box and hunting the SPs, when the possibility of a much cheaper factory set is out there.
Exactly. The factory set wasn’t the problem, per se. It was the fact that the base set had SPs in the first place.
So naturally, they add even more SPs! It’s almost as though Panini doesn’t care if we are able to collect the set.
It’s still early but just from that box I see more style and personality than Topps’ flagship. That Jr. and Bo Jackson look amazing. That Nolan Ryan is unfortunate, though.
Awesome product. I have always love Donruss baseball.
Looks like a fun break, pretty much on par with the box I broke last year. Thanks Tracy!
Keep taking me back to my childhood and I will be happy 🙂
