Description

2008 Donruss Threads is a 183-card set released October 22nd, 2008. Being that, at the time, Donruss-Playoff had neither a Major League Baseball nor an MLBPA license, the product features exclusively retired players and prospects -- no players who were current Major Leaguers -- and all trademarks have been airbrushed. Included on the checklist are Pete Rose and Shoeless Joe Jackson who, due to their banishment from baseball, are prohibited from inclusion in a fully-licensed product.

Each 24-pack Hobby box will contain two autographs and two additional autographs and/or game-used memorabilia cards.

Distribution

Hobby: 24 packs per box, five cards per pack (MSRP: $4).
