User Rating:

Essentially 2016 Donruss Chrome, 2016 Donruss Optic Baseball takes the base Donruss look and adds Optichrome technology. Each hobby box averages two autographs.

The 100-card base set includes updates for new players and those on different teams. That is increased with 30 Diamond Kings and 35 Rated Rookies subset cards. The Rated Rookies checklist will include 15 players from 2016 Donruss along with 20 new subjects like Trevor Story. Ten parallels bring a rainbow of choices to the options, including Carolina Blue, Black, Gold, Green and Gold Vinyl (1/1). There will also be Base Variations.

Working heavily with the Rated Rookies brand, 2016 Donruss Optic Baseball includes six different signed designs under the iconic logo. Choices include Rated Rookie Signatures on the 2016 set version, as well as Rated Rookie Retro Signatures that honor designs from 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987 and 1989. All versions include up to ten parallels numbered to 150 or less.

Among the other autographs to be found are Back to the Future Signatures, Optic Autographs, Significant Signatures, and Studio Signatures. Of note, the San Diego Chicken was shown on the Back to the Future design. All these signed inserts are each found with up to five parallels, including Gold, Green and Gold Vinyl (1/1), that are limited to 50 copies or less.

Lastly, 2016 Donruss Optic Baseball incorporates a variety of insert brands, with several that should be familiar to many collectors. This includes ten Illusions and 25 Masters of the Game, along with Power Alley, The Prospects, and The Rookies. All the inserts are available in five parallels that are numbered to 149 or less.

Trey is a lifelong sports fanatic. He is a huge fan of the NBA and NFL, as well as soccer, college basketball and college football. As a kid, he collected football and basketball cards. In more recent years, he started collecting basketball cards again on a whim and has since expanded to other sports and entertainment options.

Hello Trey. I bought a retail box of these cards for a very discounted price. The Jumbo Retaill Packs with the 4 purple parallels per pack. I pulled 8 #’d Parallels out of this 1 box. I also pulled 3 SP Variations & there are only 5 SP Variation player cards available.

What I have a question about is distinguishing the difference between the base/standard Optic card & a Hologram card. I noticed on 2 of the Rated Rookie Cards & 1 base veteran Card there is a white dot located towards the bottom right corner of the card that to me might be telling the card is a Hologram. These 3 cards compared to the base cards though I really am having a hard time distinguishing the difference.

I know a Hologram is the same thing basically as a Refractor. I like it that Topps tells on the back of their cards they are “Refractors” but Panini doesn’t have anything to tell a buyer whether the card is a Hologram or not unless it is that white dot located towards the bottom right of the cards.

I only noticed this white dot on 3 cards from the box. 2 were Rated Rookies while the other was a base veteran card. Do you know or have any idea as to how these Optic Cards can be distinguished as “Holograms”?

Holograms from older sets of cards were easy to notice but these Optics base cards are so reflective that I can’t tell otherwise. Thanks.

I don’t know of any tricks other than to just compare against the base.

I have never seen the autograph for Godley and Montas (autograph base). I’ve see parallels for them. Were these two cards never made?

This product is better than Topps Chrome by a long shot. I just busted a case of this and 2016 Topps Chrome. Here is how it went down. Optic Case=4 refractor hot boxes, 2 Auto hot boxes(5 per box), 2 Schwarber autos, 2 Seager autos, plenty of refractors for all the top rookies and stars. Loaded.
Topps Chrome case=Best card blue refractor auto of Sano. Same thing every year with chrome, sorry insert rates for the top guys. Kudos Panini! In the first year of release the only real manufacturing issue is slight off centering. If Optic becomes a yearly product I will never by Chrome again. Just bought two more cases and they turned up just as good as my first case. Get it, it’s good.

I just ripped a couple retail 16 count packs and got two different versions of Bryant – one says Chicago on the bottom the other says “ROY”. Different summary on the back as well.

Like you guys said, “essentially 2016 Donruss Chrome”, the more flashy and better looking cousin thats on steroids of Topps Chrome. It’s well worth the price with all the Optic color refractors plus 2 to 3 autos in a box. I’m looking forward to joining more pyt/random breaks. I suggest you join a break to try it out. If you like Topps Chrome, you will love this.

Pretty much looks like 2016 Donruss except with a different name. Having a feeling we are going to miss Topps when it comes to the mid range products.

will there be only hobby for optic or will there be a retail version to. have a great summer.
