Group Break interest - 2014 Donruss


So I was checking my e-mail last night and I saw that DA Cardworld had pre-orders up for 2014 Donruss and I immediately wondered if they would be enough interest to do a small group break.

1990 Donruss helped usher me into the world of baseball card collecting so I'm kinda fond of the Donruss brand.  I know it's not the same now, being in the Panini stable and not being officially licensed and all.  The box contents look impressive though so I thought I'd gauge interest.

I was thinking 2 hobby boxes, 15 two team slots.  Choose one team, randomly assigned a 2nd team all for $13.00 shipped per slot.

The other alternative is just open one hobby box w/ the same format as above, for $8 shipped per slot.

Look over the contents and think it over.  Please comment if this is something you'd be in for - 1 or two boxes.  I don't need to know your team choice at this time, just if you'd sign up or not.  I'll give this a few days before making a final decision.

2014 Panini Donruss Baseball Hobby Box (Presell)

Each Box contains Two Autographs, One Game Gear Memorabilia Card, and Four Diamond Kings!
Each box also contains the following inserts:
- 4 RATED ROOKIES
- 1 SILVER PRESS PROOF
- 2 BREAKOUT HITTERS
- 2 BREAKOUT PITCHERS
- 2 HALL WORTHY
- 2 THE ROOKIES,
- 1 TEAM MVP
- 1 NO-NO'S 
- 1 CAREER STAT LINE
- 3 POWER PLUS
Look for 2014 rookie cards with Rated Rookie Logos.
Find recollection Autograph Buybacks of classic Donruss Cards!
Look for hobby exclusive oversized Diamond Kings Box Toppers with on-card autographed versions.
The Elite Series and Elite Dominator are both #'d/999 - just like the good ol' days! With on-card signature versions #'d/10.

PRODUCT BREAKDOWN:
THE ELITE SERIES SIGNATURES: With just 10 copies of each player in this 20-card insert available, these classic Elite Series signatures are iconic...and rare!
DONRUSS SIGNATURES: This 50-card autograph insert features the ink markings of current stars and greats from the past.
POWER PLUS SIGNATURES: A desired blend of power and speed is what sets a handful of major leaguers apart from their peers. We call it Power Plus. From Hall of Famer Rickey Hendrson to current star Mike Trout, these 20 players flash - or have flashed - speed and power in their game.
DIAMOND KINGS: Diamond Kings highlights a current player from each of the 30 big-league clubs. Since its debut in 1982, Diamond Kings has been a consistently excellent element of Donruss' rich and storied history.
DONRUSS GAME GEAR: We can't get you in a game, but we can bring you pieces of game-worn gear from those players who have made headlines for their on-field play.
HALL WORTHY: All 15 Players in the all new Hall Worthy insert have managed to create an overwhelming argument as to why they should one day walk through the Hall.

24 Packs Per Pack, 8 Cards Per Pack

  1. I looks pretty nice. The Diamond Kings looks real cool. I would be up for either option. Would prefer the 2 box option, more opportunity to get Homie Team.

    If this break Happens sign me up for the Nats.

    1. Without knowing the exact weight of the package it's hard to tell, but it looks like $5-6 maybe? That means a two team slot would be $16 shipped.

  7. I'm still waiting for the next Affordable Group Break. Not that this isn't affordable, I just can't go spending real money on the unlicensed stuff.

    1. Then I hope we get a mondo Cardinals hit! Just kidding. I really wasn't sure if people would come back and participate with me being gone from the scene for close to a year...but the response has been great. That said I'll have to look for some older/cheaper boxes of stuff that would be fun to break for whenever the next break occurs.
