The 2001 Donruss Elite set (the second baseball product issued by Donruss-Playoff) was released to The Hobby in May 2001.  The all foil-board base set consists of 200 cards with the last 50 cards making up a rookie subset.  Each rookie is serial-numbered to 1000 copies, with the first 100 part of the die-cut and autographed "Turn of the Century" parallel.  Each 24-pack waxbox yielded one serial-numbered rookie, one Extra Edition exchange card, one serial-numbered parallel, three serial-numbered inserts, and two autographed/game used cards.

==Elite Extra Edition==
The last 50 cards in the base set (cards 201-250) were issued as exchange coupons for unspecified rookies and prospects, and randomly seeded into packs at a rate of 1:14.  Unlike other similar exchange programs, each coupon cost $5.99 to redeem and initially the checklist was not to be revealed until after the November 1, 2001 expiration date.  This program was not well received by collectors, and forced Donruss-Playoff to announced in late October a provisional checklist and to extend the deadline to January 20th, 2002.
In April, 2002 representatives at Donruss-Playoff released the production figures for each of the Elite Extra Edition cards. All of these cards are actually serial-numbered "XXX/1000" on back but were mailed out in random order, meaning that, although Donruss-Playoff said that only 556 copies of Mark Prior's card were issued, some collectors received a Prior card with a serial-number above 556 -- all of which defeated the whole purpose of the serial-numbering.
In February 2002, Donruss-Playoff announced that all remaining cards were destroyed; however, in future D-P baseball releases a fair number of 2001 Elite Extra Edition "buybacks" were inserted.

154 Josh Beckett
The last 50 cards in the 2001 Donruss Elite base set (cards 201-250) were dubbed the "Extra Edition" and issued as exchange cards for unspecified rookies and prospects.  The odds of finding an Extra Edition redemption card was 1:14/packs.  Each exchange card had a number from 201-250 and cost $5.99 to redeem.  As part of the program, the final checklist would not be revealed until after the November 1st, 2001 expiration date. 


155 Wilson Betemit RC
This program was not well received by collectors, and forced Donruss-Playoff to announce in late October a provisional checklist and to extend the deadline to January 20th, 2002.  The checklist would be revised and the expiration date extended a second time.

157 Joe Crede
In April, 2002 Elite Extra Edition began fulfillment with Donruss-Playoff releasing final production figures. All cards that D-P sent out were serial-numbered "XXX/1000" on the front but were mailed out in random order, meaning that, for example, although Donruss-Playoff said that only 556 of Mark Prior's DEEE card were redeemed, some collectors received a Prior card with a serial-number greater than 556 -- which defeated the whole purpose of the serial-numbering.


158 Jack Cust
In February 2002, Donruss-Playoff announced that all remaining cards were destroyed; however in ensuing years, future D-P baseball releases would have a fair number of 2001 DEEE "buybacks."  In addition, a number of DEEE's without serial-numbers have emerged -- usually as "buyback" cards used as part of Donruss-Playoff's "Recollection Collection" program.  You can draw your own conclusions on that.

'''NOTES:'''


160 Alex Escobar
* Because of the "pay-for-redemption" nature of these cards, all cards that would have otherwise been considered true rookie cards, have been designated as [[XRC|"XRCs"]] by Beckett.
* Each card is serial-numbered to 1000.  The production figures listed below are what Donruss-Playoff announced were distributed.  However, as explained above, these should be taken with a grain of salt.
* A number of these cards without serial-numbers have emerged over the years.

The first 100 serial-numbered copies of the 50-card rookie subset (cards 151-200) are die-cut and (for 48 of the 50 cards) autographed (on-card) by the player.  Many players, including Albert Pujols, did not return their cards in time for inclusion in the product and therefore were available as redemptions (all of which expired May 1st, 2003). Cards 195 and 198 (Ichiro and Tsuyoshi Shinjo, respectively) were issued without autographs, as both players were under an exclusive autograph contract to Upper Deck.

===Elite Extra Edition Autographs===


These certified autograph cards were made available as a compensation by Donruss-Playoff to collectors for autograph exchange cards that the manufacturer was unable to fulfill in the 2001 season. Each card is serial-numbered of 100 on front. Unlike most Donruss-Playoff autograph cards from 2001, the athletes signed the actual card rather than signing a sticker (of which was then affixed to the card at a later date). The cards first started to appear on the secondary market in April, 2002.

===Passing the Torch Autographed===
===Passing the Torch Autographed===


Randomly inserted in packs, this 22-card set is a partial autographed parallel version of the regular insert set printed on double-sided holo-foil board. Cards with single players were sequentially numbered to 100 while those with dual players were numbered to 50. Nearly all of these cards were not available in time for insertion into packs and collectors had until May 1st, 2003 to redeem them. Wade Boggs, Todd Helton, Stan Musial and Nolan Ryan were the only players to return their cards in time for them to be seeded into packs. Cards PT22, PT23 and PT24 were actually 2001 Donruss Elite football exchange cards that were erroneously placed into baseball packs. To honor their commitment to collectors that pulled these cards - the manufacturer created three additional dual autograph baseball cards. These cards are tagged in our checklist with an "FB" status to indicate their origin. The set contains two separate cards numbered PT22 because of this same football snafu - whereby it's theorized that the baseball was originally intended to be complete at 22 cards. The three additional football exchange cards expanded the set to 25 cards and also created two separate PT22 cards.

PT1 Stan Musial
This 24-card set is a full autographed parallel of the regular Passing the Torch set.  Whereas the base version has a yellow/gold color scheme, the autographs are red/pink.  Cards with single players are serial-numbered to 100 while those with dual players were numbered to 50. Like all autographs in this product, each card is embossed with a 2001 Donruss Elite stamp for authenticity.


PT2 Tony Gwynn
Nearly all of these cards were not available in time for insertion and packed out as exchange cards which expired May 1st, 2003. Wade Boggs, Todd Helton, Stan Musial and Nolan Ryan were the only players to return their cards in time. 


PT3 Willie Mays
The redemptions for cards #PT-23 and #PT-24 and some of card #PT-22 were accidentally labelled as part of the ''2001 Donruss Elite Football'' product.  In addition, redemptions for card #PT-22 were available for both baseball and football.  "#PT-22 baseball" was fulfilled with the Nolan Ryan/Pedro Martinez card listed below; while "#PT-22 football" was redeemed with one of the Nolan Ryan/Roger Clemens cards.

====Football Exchange====


PT5 Mike Schmidt
Like most Passing the Torch Autographs, these four cards packed out as redemptions; however, the exchange cards were erroneously labelled as coming from the ''2001 Donruss Elite Football'' set.  The four cards listed below were produced to fulfill these "football" redemptions.


PT6 Scott Rolen
Three different card #PT-22s exist.  One is a Nolan Ryan/Pedro Martinez dual autograph that packed out as a baseball redemption (see above).  The other two #PT-22s were "football" redemptions. One pictures Nolan Ryan on the front and Roger Clemens on the back, while on the other Clemens is up front and Ryan is on the reverse.  Both cards are serial-numbered to 50 copies; however it is unclear if this is the aggregate production for both Clemens/Ryan cards, or if 50 copies of both cards were produced.  The Ryan(front)/Clemens(back) is sequentially-numbered "22FB-l" while the Clemens(front)/Ryan(back) is numbered "22FB-n". 


PT7 Cal Ripken
Roger Clemens was not featured in the non-autographed Passing the Torch insert set, and it's believed that Clemens was commissioned by Donruss-Playoff to fulfill these football redemptions. 


PT8 Alex Rodriguez
The redemption cards for #PT-23 and #PT-24 were also mistakenly labelled as football cards; however, unlike with card #PT-22, no "baseball" exchange coupons exist.  All PT-23 and PT-24 "football" exchange cards were fulfilled by cards #PT-23 and #PT-24, respectively.

Randomly inserted in packs, this 15-card set is a partial parallel autographed version of the regular insert set. Exchange cards with a May 1st, 2003 redemption deadline were seeded into packs for almost the entire set. Only Al Kaline, Harmon Killebrew and Stan Musial managed to return their cards in time for packout. 2001 Donruss Elite football exchange cards were erroneously seeded into baseball packs for cards TT21 and TT22. The quantity for Ernie Banks signed cards was never revealed by the manufacturer.

This fifteen-card set is an autographed partial-parallel of the regular insert set. Exchange cards with a May 1st, 2003 redemption deadline were seeded into packs for almost the entire set. Only Al Kaline, Harmon Killebrew and Stan Musial managed to return their cards in time for packout.  As with the Passing the Torch Autographs, redemption cards #TT21 and #TT22 are mistakenly listed as coming from the ''2001 Donruss Elite Football'' set. The quantity for Ernie Banks signed cards was never revealed by the manufacturer.

Extra Edition

230.jpg?id=1d8a9d77-9d38-42d3-9054-aa1778c8fb8c&size=original&side=front&.jpg 230.jpg?id=1d8a9d77-9d38-42d3-9054-aa1778c8fb8c&size=original&side=back&.jpg

The last 50 cards in the 2001 Donruss Elite base set (cards 201-250) were dubbed the "Extra Edition" and issued as exchange cards for unspecified rookies and prospects. The odds of finding an Extra Edition redemption card was 1:14/packs. Each exchange card had a number from 201-250 and cost $5.99 to redeem. As part of the program, the final checklist would not be revealed until after the November 1st, 2001 expiration date.

This program was not well received by collectors, and forced Donruss-Playoff to announce in late October a provisional checklist and to extend the deadline to January 20th, 2002. The checklist would be revised and the expiration date extended a second time.

Mark-Prior.jpg?id=9859a24a-bcae-4475-bac9-016fb28b17f0&size=original&side=front&.jpg Mark-Prior.jpg?id=9859a24a-bcae-4475-bac9-016fb28b17f0&size=original&side=back&.jpg

In April, 2002 Elite Extra Edition began fulfillment with Donruss-Playoff releasing final production figures. All cards that D-P sent out were serial-numbered "XXX/1000" on the front but were mailed out in random order, meaning that, for example, although Donruss-Playoff said that only 556 of Mark Prior's DEEE card were redeemed, some collectors received a Prior card with a serial-number greater than 556 -- which defeated the whole purpose of the serial-numbering.

In February 2002, Donruss-Playoff announced that all remaining cards were destroyed; however in ensuing years, future D-P baseball releases would have a fair number of 2001 DEEE "buybacks." In addition, a number of DEEE's without serial-numbers have emerged -- usually as "buyback" cards used as part of Donruss-Playoff's "Recollection Collection" program. You can draw your own conclusions on that.

NOTES:

  • Because of the "pay-for-redemption" nature of these cards, all cards that would have otherwise been considered true rookie cards, have been designated as "XRCs" by Beckett.
  • Each card is serial-numbered to 1000. The production figures listed below are what Donruss-Playoff announced were distributed. However, as explained above, these should be taken with a grain of salt.

The first 100 serial-numbered copies of the 50-card rookie subset (cards 151-200) are die-cut and (for 48 of the 50 cards) autographed (on-card) by the player. Many players, including Albert Pujols, did not return their cards in time for inclusion in the product and therefore were available as redemptions (all of which expired May 1st, 2003). Cards 195 and 198 (Ichiro and Tsuyoshi Shinjo, respectively) were issued without autographs, as both players were under an exclusive autograph contract to Upper Deck.

Collectors attending the March 2002 Chicago Sun-Times Show who opened a sealed Hobby box of 2001 Donruss Elite Baseball at Donruss-Playoff's corporate booth, would receive a "Chicago Collection" card. Chicago Collection parallels the first 150 cards of the base set. Each is embossed with the show's logo and is serial-numbered to five.

These certified autograph cards were made available as a compensation by Donruss-Playoff to collectors for autograph exchange cards that the manufacturer was unable to fulfill in the 2001 season. Each card is serial-numbered to 100 copies, and are embossed with an "ELITE LEGACY" stamp.

Unlike most Donruss-Playoff autograph cards from 2001, the athletes signed the actual card rather than signing a sticker (of which was then affixed to the card at a later date). The cards first started to appear on the secondary market in April 2002.

Passing the Torch Autographed

This 24-card set is a full autographed parallel of the regular Passing the Torch set. Whereas the base version has a yellow/gold color scheme, the autographs are red/pink. Cards with single players are serial-numbered to 100 while those with dual players were numbered to 50. Like all autographs in this product, each card is embossed with a 2001 Donruss Elite stamp for authenticity.

Nearly all of these cards were not available in time for insertion and packed out as exchange cards which expired May 1st, 2003. Wade Boggs, Todd Helton, Stan Musial and Nolan Ryan were the only players to return their cards in time.

The redemptions for cards #PT-23 and #PT-24 and some of card #PT-22 were accidentally labelled as part of the 2001 Donruss Elite Football product. In addition, redemptions for card #PT-22 were available for both baseball and football. "#PT-22 baseball" was fulfilled with the Nolan Ryan/Pedro Martinez card listed below; while "#PT-22 football" was redeemed with one of the Nolan Ryan/Roger Clemens cards.

  • PT-1 Stan Musial 100
  • PT-2 Tony Gwynn EXCH 100
  • PT-3 Willie Mays EXCH 100

Football Exchange

Like most Passing the Torch Autographs, these four cards packed out as redemptions; however, the exchange cards were erroneously labelled as coming from the 2001 Donruss Elite Football set. The four cards listed below were produced to fulfill these "football" redemptions.

Three different card #PT-22s exist. One is a Nolan Ryan/Pedro Martinez dual autograph that packed out as a baseball redemption (see above). The other two #PT-22s were "football" redemptions. One pictures Nolan Ryan on the front and Roger Clemens on the back, while on the other Clemens is up front and Ryan is on the reverse. Both cards are serial-numbered to 50 copies; however it is unclear if this is the aggregate production for both Clemens/Ryan cards, or if 50 copies of both cards were produced. The Ryan(front)/Clemens(back) is sequentially-numbered "22FB-l" while the Clemens(front)/Ryan(back) is numbered "22FB-n".

Roger Clemens was not featured in the non-autographed Passing the Torch insert set, and it's believed that Clemens was commissioned by Donruss-Playoff to fulfill these football redemptions.

The redemption cards for #PT-23 and #PT-24 were also mistakenly labelled as football cards; however, unlike with card #PT-22, no "baseball" exchange coupons exist. All PT-23 and PT-24 "football" exchange cards were fulfilled by cards #PT-23 and #PT-24, respectively.

  • 22FB-l Nolan Ryan / Roger Clemens FB EXCH 50
  • 22FB-n Roger Clemens / Nolan Ryan FB EXCH 50
  • PT-23 Wade Boggs / Nomar Garciaparra FB EXCH 50
  • PT-24 Don Mattingly / Todd Helton FB EXCH 50

This sixteen-card set is an autographed partial-parallel of the regular insert set. Almost every card in the set packed out as an exchange card with a redemption deadline of May 1st, 2003. Only Johnny Bench, Al Kaline and Harmon Killebrew signed cards in time to be seeded directly into packs.

This fifteen-card set is an autographed partial-parallel of the regular insert set. Exchange cards with a May 1st, 2003 redemption deadline were seeded into packs for almost the entire set. Only Al Kaline, Harmon Killebrew and Stan Musial managed to return their cards in time for packout. As with the Passing the Torch Autographs, redemption cards #TT21 and #TT22 are mistakenly listed as coming from the 2001 Donruss Elite Football set. The quantity for Ernie Banks signed cards was never revealed by the manufacturer.
