Description

2004 Donruss Elite Extra Edition is a 286-card set released in December, Cards #1-#150 featured active veterans while cards #206-#215 feature retired players and cards #216-#355 are all Rookie Cards including many players drafted in 2004. Cards #151-#205 do not exist.

In late 2004, the MLBPA, granted Donruss-Playoff, Fleer, and Upper Deck a one-time exemption to their licensing agreement allowing each to produce a set featuring prospects, draft picks, and other non-union players. These exempt products were designed to compete with Topps' long-established 2004 Bowman Draft Picks & Prospects brand. Donruss Elite Extra Edition was Donruss-Playoff's designated product, while Hot Prospects Draft and SP Prospects were Fleer and Upper Deck's.
