Description

2008 Donruss Threads is a 183-card set released October 22nd, 2008. Being that, at the time, Donruss-Playoff had neither a Major League Baseball nor an MLBPA license, the product features exclusively retired players and prospects -- no players who were current Major Leaguers -- and all trademarks have been airbrushed. Included on the checklist are Pete Rose and Shoeless Joe Jackson who, due to their banishment from baseball, are prohibited from inclusion in a fully-licensed product.

Each 24-pack Hobby box will contain two autographs and two additional autographs and/or game-used memorabilia cards.

Distribution

Hobby: 24 packs per box, five cards per pack (MSRP: $4).

Rookie Class Autographed Manufactured Letter Patches

Rookie-Class-Autograph---Carlos-Gutierrez.jpg?id=e68f506c-ed5d-456e-bb0b-b913a2339a0e&size=original&side=front&.jpg

This subset features a prominent rookie's signature on a manufactured letter patch. Each player has multiple letter variations, one for each letter in his last name. Each card is serial-numbered to the aggregate number of patches in the product; however, most players signed 30 of each letter.

NOTE: In addition to being a totally stupid concept, to add insult to injury, the autographs in this subset have been known to fade over time. Collector beware!
