[Panini Blog]

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.

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.
