Description

2004 Donruss Elite is a 199-card set released in May, 2004. The first 150 cards featured veterans while cards 151-180 featured autographed rookie cards printed to varying print runs. The final 20 cards are of retired greats and are all serial-numbered to 1000 copies.

Kaz Matsui, the hot rookie of 2004, appears on two cards: #121 and #169. Card #169 does not exist in the base set, but does exist in the parallels. Donruss-Playoff was unable to come to terms with Matsui on an autograph deal, so his autographed subset card (#169) was pulled and a new card (#121) was created.

Distribution

20 packs per box, five cards per pack (MSRP: $5). 12 boxes per case. Hobby only.
