1998 Donruss Limited was a proposed a 200-card release limited to less than 1,000 total sets and intended for release in October, 1998. The product was never released due to Pinnacle Brands' bankruptcy.
Unlike other Pinnacle Brands bankruptcy issues (i.e. 1998 Select and 1998 Pinnacle Certified), none of the cards from this set have surfaced on the secondary market -- and it is assumed that they were never printed. A Frank Thomas promo card issued along with the sell sheets (pictured above) are the only reminders of this product's existence.

Base Set
A checklist for the base set was never released.
Parallels
Limited Exposure
Limited Exposure was to have been a parallel of the entire base set printed on "holographic Spectra-Tech technology" (i.e. Refractor rip-off). Like the base set, the Limited Exposures were to have been fractured with the Star Factor cards limited to only 40 copies.
Double Switch
Double Switch was to have been a die-cut parallel of the base set in which the front of one card was to have been "switched" with the back of another. Each card was to have been printed on "holographic Spectra-Tech technology" and serial-numbered to only 15 copies.
It is unclear if only one Double Switch of each "front" was to have been produced, or if Donruss was attempting to pair each card with all possible 199 different backs.
Inserts
Fabric of the Game
Fabric of the Game was to have been a fractured "materials" insert printed on cards made of leather, wood, or nylon. There were five tiers to the set and each card would have been designated either...
- Major League Material (serial-numbered to 1000 copies)
- Star Material (serial-numbered to 750 copies)
- Super Star Material (serial-numbered to 500 copies)
- Hall of Fame Material (serial-numbered to 250 copies)
- Legendary Material (serial-numbered to 100 copies)
In addition, the first cards produced were to have been die-cut and serial-numbered to the player's respective uniform number.
