Collectors who attended the March, 2002 Chicago Sun-Times cardshow who opened a box of 2002 Donruss Baseball at the Donruss-Playoff booth would received a "Chicago Collection" card.

Similar to the Chicago Collection, collectors who attended the 2002 National Sports Collectors Convention in Rosemont, IL (the same venue as the Sun-Times show), and opened a sealed Hobby box of 2002 Donruss Baseball would receive a special "National Convention" card.

Production Line
This massive sixty-card set features 2001's league leaders in three offensive statistics. Cards 1-20 are the leaders in on-base percentage, 21-40 in slugging percentage, and 41-60 in OPS. Each card is serial numbered to the player's respective 2000 stat in that category multiplied by 1000.
For example, Todd Helton's on-base percentage in 2000 was .432; therefore, his Production Line insert (card #PL-5) is numbered to 432 copies. In addition, the first 100 copies of each card are die-cut. So, using the Helton example, there are 100 die-cuts and the remaining 332 are not.
