2017 Donruss Baseball Cards

I LOVE this year’s rookie class. That alone helps make this set fun to collect. I actually preferred 2016’s mix of cards and value for what is paid out.

Panini may not have logos, but they could teach Topps a thing or two about making a fun baseball product.

5 I got a Bryce Harper Diamond King test proof with a blank front except a pink shadow of him swinging as on the diamond king card it 9 -10 what is it

I’ve bought 5 or 6 boxes and still haven’t completed the set. But I have gotten a few good autos and inserts: Steve Carlton Significant Signature #6/7, Nomar Mazara Signature Series #8/10, Cole Hamels Retro Variation #18/20 and a Griffey Whammy.

I’ve gotten 4 hits out of at least 4 boxes.

Plan on ordering 3 more boxes tonight and getting one from the shop tomorrow.

If I had completed the set already, I would have given 5 stars.

Overall so far so good… I opened a hobby box and found a Ryne Sandberg Diamond Collection 1 of 1, any info on this card will be appreciated.

$105 CDN a box and it didn’t disappoint. 2 autos (Swanson was one) and 2 jersey (Votto and some prospect I never heard of) plus Aaron Judge rookies artist proof and a Kershaw press proof /5 and plenty of photo/ name variation cards. I don’t know if I got a loaded box or if this is the norm. Either way, definitely buying another.

Love love love this product! I’ve bought 7-8 hobby boxes of it. Keep going back for more. Just pulled a Trout Whammy and Ryno auto /10 from the same box. Always over delivers. Agree their are too many ’83’s in a box, but by far the best bang for your buck in baseball

Awesome! I ran across a third variation of Kris Bryant that I cannot find an explanation for. Same back coloring as regular variation, different picture, all three have different descriptions. Any help would be appreciated.

I saw a blaster of this year’s set at Target tonight so I decided to give it a shot. For $19.99 I wasn’t expecting much. I just wanted to check out the product. Pulled 3 #’ d cards and a Trea Turner relic (not numbered) and was pretty happy nonetheless. Nice little nostalgic look tl the cards. Good oulls for 1 blaster box. Jose Ramierez /499. Nick Markakis (Aqueous Test?) /49 and a Dansby Swanson (the rookies) /199. Happy.

I for some reason have always liked Donruss even though I still don’t like that they don’t have a contract with MLB. I guess Topps has that last one locked up.
This may sound like a stupid question but what may I ask is Aqueous Test? In the Dictionary it says 1. : of, like, or containing water; watery: or 2.(of rocks or sediments) formed of matter deposited in or by water. Anybody have a clue. Its a fine word is this the composite of the card? Like I said I hope I have that right but was just wondering. Great set. always hard to collect it all but what brand is today/ Anyway the hunt is fun part for me.. Nice Issue.

Really disappointed in this year’s product.

1. The 1983 Retro set falls at the same rate as base cards. (Given that there are 50 and there are 150 base cards that makes sense, since they needed 50 cards to fill out a press sheet). These are being considered inserts when in fact they really aren’t. Which leads to #2.

2. Last year’s jumbo packs were loaded with inserts and SP. Each pack usually had 1 DK, 1 RR, and 3-4 inserts. This year’s jumbo packs don’t even come close to that. Not counting the 1983s (which fall 6 to a jumbo pack, again, basically the same rate as base cards) each pack is containing only TWO inserts. Out of 6 jumbo packs I’ve opened, I’ve pulled 3 DK and 1 RR. Last year that would’ve been 6 of each. I opened a blaster and pulled 2 DK and 1 RR. It’s going to be impossible to build this set with the DK and RR.

I’m usually a big fan of Donruss, but passing off those 1983s as “inserts” is a joke. Especially when it’s at the expense of the other SP base cards and inserts that made this such a fun product in years past.

2 autos and 2 patch cards in one box and many inserts

I just opened my box, and i got 2 auto/2 jersey which is 1 more then the average 3 per box. My autos were two prospects I’ve never heard of, and the jersey were really good ones – Evan Longoria and Yoan Moncada

Also pulled the Rizzo “Rizz”, Stargell “Pops”, Sandberg “Ryno” and Kris Bryant alternate photo variations.

Best of all, no doubles. Probably get 3/4th of a complete set in one box. Defintely going to buy another box, and maybe a blaster box or two. That should get me all the base cards, but I will have to buy the remaining DK’s and RR’s singly.

I have loved this product the last 2 years and this year seems just as good as those 2. I have never had a box of this product that didn’t over produce in terms of hits and there are also usually a good number of good parallels some pretty low numbered too. There doesn’t seem to be as many players in the auto sets compared to the past but the ones listed are pretty good with very few scrub players that tend to populate checklists of other products in this price point. The only downside to this product is the lack of logos because it this was licensed by MLB I bet it would out sell base Topps.

It was interesting that they snuck in Darvish and Cargo at the end of the set after all the retired players. I wonder if a couple of retired players had to be pulled from the set. At least they have Carlos Gonzalez – he was missing from Allen Ginter base last year.

Never liked the 1990 Donruss Design as the photos appeared too small and all the borders were red. Hopefully the borders will be color coded by team which would make this a better looking set.

One of my favorite rainbows ever was the 2016 Donruss Signature Series Canseco set I have.

Love Donruss!! This year looks great. Wish they wouldn’t have dropped Select or Prizm.
