	A number of additional Crusade cards were produced by Donruss for future 1998 and 1999 baseball ~~card sets~~, but were never officially released due to the bankruptcy of Pinnacle Brands. ~~All players in~~ the ~~Crusade set were~~ to ~~have two types for all three colors:~~ a ~~"base"~~ and ~~"Call~~ to ~~Arms" (CTA)~~. ~~However~~, ~~the 2nd style for many players were~~ never ~~officially released due to the bankruptcy~~.		A number of additional Crusade cards (sequentially numbered #131 - #200 in the set) were produced by Donruss for future 1998 and 1999 baseball products, but were never officially released due to the bankruptcy of Pinnacle Brands. However, all 70 of these known, unreleased Crusades emerged on the secondary market shortly after Pinnacle's bankruptcy. None of these unreleased Crusades are serial-numbered. While Major League Baseball Properties (MLBP) instructed Pinnacle Brands - which included the Donruss and Leaf products - to destroy its baseball card inventory after the bankruptcy filing, some Donruss employees collated and kept these unreleased Crusades and sold them to Dave and Adams Card World, a sports card and collectibles store. In turn, they sold the entire lot to a private collector, which then traded hands again to another private collector 12 later. Had these Crusades not been backdoored, collectors may have never seen these.

	~~For example,~~ the ~~Ken Griffey, Jr. CTA Crusade was one~~ of ~~these~~ unreleased ~~cards that emerged on~~ the ~~secondary market after~~ the ~~bankruptcy - because Griffey, Jr~~. ~~had a "base" Crusade that was officially released in packs~~, ~~his CTA subset was~~ to ~~be featured in sets that were never officially released~~.		While many collectors believe that 1 copy of the Red and Purple and 2 copies of the Green of each player from this unreleased portion of the set exist, this is more of an exception than the norm. The large majority of players only have 1 copy of each color, with some players not having one or two colors confirmed to exist. However,

	~~Unlike~~ the ~~cards that~~ were ~~inserted into packs~~, all ~~cards from the unreleased CTA subset are sequentially-numbered~~. ~~None~~ of ~~the cards~~, however, ~~are serial-numbered~~. ~~Many collectors believe~~ that ~~1 copy of~~ the ~~Red and Purple and 2 copies of~~ the ~~Green of each player from this unreleased portion of~~ the ~~set~~ were ~~produced~~.		Most players in the initial Crusade set (#1 - #100) were to have a "base" and "Call to Arms" (CTA) card, for all three colors. The first Crusade "type" for each of these players were released in packs of 1998 Donruss, Leaf, and Donruss Update; however, the second Crusade "type" for many players were part of this unreleased set. For example, the Ken Griffey, Jr. CTA Crusade was one of these unreleased cards that emerged on the secondary market after the bankruptcy - Griffey, Jr. had a "base" Crusade that was officially released in packs but his CTA subset was to be featured in sets that were never officially released.

			Unlike the CTA Crusades that were inserted into packs, all cards unreleased CTA cards are sequentially-numbered.

	Because of the popularity of the Crusade set in general and potential rarity of the unreleased Crusades specifically, these command also strong premiums in the secondary sales market over the pack-issued Crusades.

	1998 Donruss Crusade is a 130-card, cross-brand insert. The ~~first~~ 40 cards (~~Denoted~~ below with a "D") were randomly inserted into packs of [[1998 Donruss]] Series One as a "stealth" insert, the ~~next 30~~ into [[1998 Leaf]] ("L")~~, and the next 30~~ into 1998 Donruss Update ~~Series~~ (~~"U").

Donruss had plans for extending the Crusade set into 1999 and beyond, however with the bankruptcy of their parent Pinnacle Brands, those plans never came to fruition. However, in the years since a number of Crusades with card numbers above 130 have surfaced as many of these cards were "backdoored" after the Pinnacle Brands bankruptcy (see [[1998_Donruss_Crusade#Unreleased_Cards\|'''Unreleased Cards''']] section below). The product insertion breakdown is as follows:
			* 40 cards (denoted below with a "D" in the checklist below) were randomly inserted into packs of [[1998 Donruss]] Series One as a "stealth" insert
			* 30 cards (denoted below with a "L" in the checklist below) were randomly inserted into packs of [[1998 Leaf]]
			* 30 cards (denoted below with a "U" in the checklist below) were randomly inserted into packs of [[1998_Donruss#Update_Series_2\|1998 Donruss Update]]
