Description

2005 Donruss Classics is a 242-card set, released in March 2005. This would be the final Donruss Classics product after a five-year run, as Donruss-Playoff's MLB license was not renewed for 2006.

Each 18-pack Hobby box will yield nine inserts/parallels, and three autographs/game-used cards.
