Description

2001 Studio is a 200-card set released by Donruss-Playoff. This was the first Studio set after a two-year absence due to the bankruptcy of the marque's previous owner Pinnacle Brands. The final fifty cards in the base set make up a Rookie subset, with each Rookie serial-numbered to only 700 copies. Each 18-pack Hobby box could be expected to yield two game-used memorabilia cards and one 5" X 7" Private Signings autograph packaged as a box-topper.

While the design of the set was in the spirit of 1990s Studio, the $10/pack price tag and the extreme difficulty of collecting a set saddled with 50 "gimmicked" rookies led many collectors to take a pass on this product.

2001 Studio does feature "true" rookies of Ichiro and Albert Pujols; however, most of the other "Rookie" subset cards are of players that had their RCs previous to 2001 or had little impact.

Distribution

Hobby: 18 packs plus one Private Signings autograph per box, six cards per pack (MSRP: $10).
