	1995 Donruss was a 550-card set released in two series of 330 and 220 cards -- the smallest Donruss base set to ~~date~~. Donruss continued as a premium-level brand and produced a borderless design coupled with a home plate-shaped inset photo in the card's lower left corner. The player nameplate is small and etched in silver foil and is rather difficult to read. Inserts were more innovative (e.g., die-cutting, acetate, colored transparency film, holographic foil, and detailed background designs), keeping the Donruss brand relevant in an era of evolving collector tastes.		1995 Donruss was a 550-card set released in two series of 330 and 220 cards - the smallest Donruss base set to that point.

	Prior to the release of Series One, Donruss announced that only 17,500 cases (Hobby wax, retail wax, Jumbos, and Magazine Distributor packs) would be produced, the same as [[1994 Donruss\|the previous year's product]]. However, as evidenced by the reduction of the second series base set's size by a third, and adjustments in the stated insertion ratios, Series Two's production run may have been reduced by as much as 15 percent.

	1995 Donruss was a 550 card set released in two series of 330 and 220 cards -- the smallest Donruss base set to date. Donruss continued as a premium-level brand and produced a borderless design coupled with a home plate-shaped inset photo in the card's lower left corner. The player nameplate is small and etched in silver foil and is rather difficult to read. Inserts were more innovative (e.g., die-cutting, acetate, colored transparency film, holographic foil, and detailed background designs), keeping the Donruss brand relevant in an era of evolving collector tastes.		1995 Donruss was a 550-card set released in two series of 330 and 220 cards -- the smallest Donruss base set to date.
