Special parallels of the 1998 Donruss Signature Series set were produced for numerous card shows and fan conventions held in the United States from 1999-2001.  It's unclear why Playoff chose an old baseball product for this promotion, as for most of these shows they had neither an MLB Properties nor an MLBPA license at the time.  (Playoff, now renamed "Donruss-Playoff" received their MLB/MLBPA licenses in March 2001 and released [[2001 Donruss]] that May.)
 
Unlike similar card show parallels Donruss-Playoff would produce in the early 2000s, these cards were not serial-numbered.  It is unclear if parallels exist for all 140 players in the set or if parallels were produced just for specific players.  However, it is known that at least one 1998 Donruss Signature Series Ken Griffey, Jr. convention parallel exists for each of the eleven card shows listed below.
 
*Sportsfest 1999 (June 17-20, Philadelphia, PA)
*Sportsfest 1999 (August 19-22, Chicago, IL)
*Superbowl XXXIV (January 26-30, Atlanta, GA)
*1999 San Diego Comic Con (July 15-18, San Diego, CA)
*The 21st National Sports Collectors Convention (July 27-30, Anaheim, CA)

For those players who signed less than 1100 cards, no "base" autograph exists -- only Century and Millennium Marks.

Sandy Koufax was on the original checklist issued by the pre-bankruptcy Donruss, but he did not return his cards in time for the pack out.  In the time between Donruss's acquisition by Playoff and the release of Signature Series, it was uncertain if Playoff could come to terms with Koufax.  Therefore, unlike Ryan and Smith, a Koufax exchange card was not issued in packs.  Eventually, officials at Playoff were able to come to terms with Koufax and made the Billy Williams card an exchange card. Each collector that pulled Billy Williams's Significant Signature card could send it in to Donruss for the Koufax (#R3) card. In addition, the signed Williams card was sent back too, but marked with the word "REDEEMED" on the back so that it could not be used again.

===Signing Bonus===


This 32-card set features redemption cards that could be redeemed for an autographed baseball signed by player. The baseballs were laser burned with a Donruss stamp to ensure authenticity. Every ball, except for Ben Grieve's, is serial numbered. The blank-backed exchange cards are serial numbered in gold foil on front, but are unnumbered within the context of a complete set and therefore checklisted in alphabetical order. These exchange cards carried an expiration date of December 31st, 1999.

==Executive Proofs==


In May 2018, a lot of never before seen executive proofs from the autograph set emerged on the secondary market. These proofs were not autographed. The Millennium Marks and Century Marks proofs featured an 'XXXX' designation where the serial number would be while the Base red proofs did not have the 'XXXX' because these were not serially numbered in the autograph set. A proof of each autograph parallel (Base red, Millennium green, and Century blue) surfaced for nearly every player in the set.

In May 2018, a group of never before seen executive proofs from the autograph set emerged on the secondary market. These proofs were not autographed. The Millennium Marks and Century Marks proofs featured a 'XXXX' designation where the serial number would be while the Base red proofs did not have the 'XXXX' because these were not serial-numbered in the autograph set. A proof of each autograph parallel (Base red, Millennium green, and Century blue) surfaced for nearly every player in the set.   


Further, executive proofs of players who never signed at all were among the cards that emerged - for example, Mike Piazza never signed a base, Millennium Mark, or Century Mark autograph; however, an executive proof of Piazza's base/Millennium/Century autograph card exists. This is notable because he was not included on the original autograph set checklist and thus there was no reason to expect that cards of his from these sets even existed, until now.  Executive proofs in general are very rare, but in the case of Piazza and other players that were not in the original autograph checklist, they especially noteworthy because it is the first time these cards have ever surfaced. These were probably players that Donruss expected to sign/to be included in the autograph sets but were not for unknown reasons.

Description

1998 Donruss Signature Series is a 140-card set released under a temporary license by Playoff, Inc., in January 1999. Like in previous years, each pack contained one on-card autograph.

This product was originally intended for release in October, 1998, but was delayed due to the bankruptcy of Pinnacle Brands. As part of Pinnacle's agreement with the Players Association, those players who signed for this product would NOT be paid for their signatures until AFTER the set's release. To ensure that their members would get paid for their services, MLB and the MLBPA granted Playoff (who had bought the rights to Pinnacle's name and inventory in bankruptcy) a temporary license that allowed them to release Signature Series and 1998 Leaf Rookies & Stars.

Distribution

Four cards plus one autograph per pack (MSRP: $14.99)

All 140 base cards are also available as a Signature Proof parallel. Proofs are limited (but not serial-numbered) to 150 copies.

Convention Parallels

Special parallels of the 1998 Donruss Signature Series set were produced for numerous card shows and fan conventions held in the United States from 1999-2001. It's unclear why Playoff chose an old baseball product for this promotion, as for most of these shows they had neither an MLB Properties nor an MLBPA license at the time. (Playoff, now renamed "Donruss-Playoff" received their MLB/MLBPA licenses in March 2001 and released 2001 Donruss that May.)

Unlike similar card show parallels Donruss-Playoff would produce in the early 2000s, these cards were not serial-numbered. It is unclear if parallels exist for all 140 players in the set or if parallels were produced just for specific players. However, it is known that at least one 1998 Donruss Signature Series Ken Griffey, Jr. convention parallel exists for each of the eleven card shows listed below.

  • Sportsfest 1999 (June 17-20, Philadelphia, PA)
  • Sportsfest 1999 (August 19-22, Chicago, IL)
  • Superbowl XXXIV (January 26-30, Atlanta, GA)
  • 1999 San Diego Comic Con (July 15-18, San Diego, CA)
  • The 21st National Sports Collectors Convention (July 27-30, Anaheim, CA)

Autographs

Signature Series Autographs

122 players signed for 1998 Donruss Signature Series. Not all players signed an equal number of cards, and for most players there were three cards produced.

  • Century Marks (First 100 cards, serial-numbered; blue background)
  • Millenium Marks (Next 1000 cards, serial-numbered; green background)
  • Base Autograph (All other cards; red background)

For example, for a player who signed 5000 cards, the first 100 were designated as "Century Marks" and serial-numbered 1 through 100. The next 1000 were "Millennium Marks" and numbered 101-1100. The other 3900 cards were base autographs and not serial-numbered.

For those players who signed less than 1100 cards, no base autograph exists -- only Century and Millennium Marks.

A Travis Lee card featuring a facsimile signature was distributed as a promo card.

Listed below is the checklist for the Millennium Marks autographs and the number of each produced. As you can see, not all players signed their full allotment of 1000 Millennium Marks.

The checklist for the Century Marks is identical to that of the Millennium's, and for brevity's sake we are not repeating the full checklist. Suffice to say, most players signed their full allotment of 100 Century Marks.

Juan Encarnancion, Dante Powell, and Brett Tomko did not sign any Century Marks.

Significant Signatures

This 18-card set features autographs of some of baseball's all-time great players. Only 2000 sets were produced and each card is serial-numbered.

NOTES

  • The Catfish Hunter card was signed in either blue or black ink.
  • Only 1000 serial #'d copies of Phil Rizzuto's card were produced.
  • Nolan Ryan and Ozzie Smith packed out as exchange cards as they were unable to return their cards to Playoff in time. Both of the exchange cards were reprints of what the autographed versions would eventually look like and were sequentially-numbered (#14 and 15) as part of the set. Cards 14 and 15 were good for cards R1 and R2.

Sandy Koufax was on the original checklist issued by the pre-bankruptcy Donruss, but he did not return his cards in time for the pack out. In the time between Donruss' acquisition by Playoff and the release of Signature Series, it was uncertain if Playoff could come to terms with Koufax. Therefore, unlike Ryan and Smith, a Koufax exchange card was not issued in packs. Eventually, officials at Playoff were able to come to terms with Koufax and made the Billy Williams card an exchange card. Each collector that pulled Billy Williams's Significant Signature card could send it in to Donruss for the Koufax (#R3) card. In addition, the signed Williams card was sent back too, but marked with the word "REDEEMED" on the back so that it could not be used again.

The exchange deadline for cards R1-R3 was December 31st, 1999. All three "R-Series" exchange cards (Ryan, Koufax and Smith) feature refractive, shiny fronts whereas the other cards seeded in packs are printed on basic foilboard.

  • At some point in time after the product's release, non-refractive versions of the Ryan, Smith, and Koufax cards made their way into the secondary market. Each card features a different card image than the Refractor versions (most notably with Koufax wearing a Brooklyn cap). The Koufax and Smith cards were serial-numbered to 2000 copies, while the Nolan Ryan was numbered to 1000.

This 32-card set features redemption cards that could be redeemed for an autographed baseball signed by player. Each baseball was laser burned with a Donruss logo as a security measure. In addition, every ball, except for Ben Grieve's, is serial-numbered.

The blank-backed exchange cards are serial-numbered in gold foil on front, but are unnumbered within the context of a complete set and therefore checklisted in alphabetical order. These exchange cards carried an expiration date of December 31st, 1999.

Executive Proofs

Kerry-Wood.jpg?id=2706ad28-4cf0-4366-9c1e-f90791155535&size=original&side=front&.jpg Kerry-Wood.jpg?id=2706ad28-4cf0-4366-9c1e-f90791155535&size=original&side=back&.jpg

In May 2018, a group of never before seen executive proofs from the autograph set emerged on the secondary market. These proofs were not autographed. The Millennium Marks and Century Marks proofs featured a 'XXXX' designation where the serial number would be while the Base red proofs did not have the 'XXXX' because these were not serial-numbered in the autograph set. A proof of each autograph parallel (Base red, Millennium green, and Century blue) surfaced for nearly every player in the set.

Further, among the cards that emerged, were players who did not sign for the Signature Series product. One such player was Mike Piazza. This is notable because he was not included on the original autograph set checklist and thus there was no reason to expect that cards of his from these sets even existed, until now. Executive proofs in general are very rare, but in the case of Piazza and other players that were not in the original autograph checklist, they are especially noteworthy because it is the first time these cards have ever surfaced. These were probably players that Donruss expected to sign/to be included in the autograph sets but were not for unknown reasons.

Below is the list of the 182 players with a confirmed executive proof. Executive proofs for John Franco, Andres Galarraga, Nomar Garciaparra, Eli Marrero, Mike Mussina, Andy Pettitte, Ivan Rodriguez, Matt Williams, and Dan Wilson, (all players with autographs in the 3 sets) have not been confirmed. Players in bold with an asterisk(*) have an executive proof but do not have an autographed base, Millennium, or Century Marks that were issued in packs (67 players in total):
