1992 Donruss

Description

For 12th consecutive year Donruss released a regular issue set. The set contained 784 cards which was their largest set to date released in two series of 396 and 388 cards, respectively.

However, Donruss made changes to their product regarding inserts, design and packaging following in the footsteps of Upper Deck. Capitalizing on the new hobby trend of insert cards popularized by Upper Deck’s Heroes insert set, Donruss made their traditional subset “Diamond Kings” an insert set. Touted as randomly inserted, the cards were seeded approximately four per box.

Donruss also changed the design on the back of their card. Instead of just text featuring the past five years of statistics and a career highlight summary; a color headshot was included. Again following Upper Deck's lead, the cards came packaged in tamper-proof fin-sealed foil wrappers. 1992 was the final year Donruss issued a factory set and the final year Donruss was required to issue something other than cards in their packs. All Series One packs contained three pieces of a 63-piece Rod Carew puzzle, but no puzzle pieces were included in Series Two packs.

Distribution

Reviews

In the December 1992 issue of Beckett Baseball Card Monthly. Chuck Roethel using a letter measurement scale graded the set "B". The set was featured in the “Card Critic” column titled “Head of the Class”. Mr. Roethel raved "the quality-stock and attractive blue color scheme on the front...proved to me that Donruss had returned in full force".

Promos

This 12-card set was available only to dealers to showcase the new and improved 1992 Donruss. The cards feature the same glossy color player photos on the fronts and player information on the backs as the regular series issue; however, the statistics only go through the 1990 season. Only the sequential-numbering of the cards on the back is different.

Inserts

Rod Carew Puzzle

Inserted into each Series One pack was three-pieces of a 63-piece "puzzle" that, when assembled, created a photo of Rod Carew. This would be the final year for the Donruss Puzzles, which, due to licensing restrictions, were required to be included in packs. From 1982-1991, Topps had the exclusive right to issue baseball cards with gum, or as a stand-alone product. As a result, Donruss, Fleer, and later Score and Upper Deck, were all forced to issue their baseball cards along with another product. Fleer had a team logo sticker in each pack; Score had "Magic Motion" trivia cards, while Upper Deck had holographic stickers. Series Two packs did not contain puzzle pieces.

Bonus Cards

These eight cards were randomly inserted into all Series Two packs. They were printed in exactly the same quantities as any Series Two base card, just not included in the factory sets. The reason for their exclusion from the factory sets was that Donruss printed their factory sets on a 56-card sheet (784 cards / 56-card sheet = 14 sheets); whereas, the pack-inserted cards were printed on a 132-card sheet (396 cards / 132 = 3 sheets).

Diamond Kings

The 1992 edition of the Donruss Diamond Kings were randomly inserted in 1992 Donruss Series One (cards 1-13 and the checklist only) and in 1992 Donruss Series Two packs (cards 14-26). Beckett Price Guide states "The decision at the time to transform the popular Diamond King subset into an insert set created notable groups of supporters and dissenters". As usual, the set features artwork from Dick Perez. The words "Donruss Diamond Kings" are superimposed at the card top in a gold-trimmed blue and black banner, with the player's name in a similarly designed black stripe at the card bottom.

A very limited amount of 5" X 7" cards were produced. These issues were never formally released but these cards were intended to be premiums in retail products.

Elite

For the second straight year, Donruss created a limited (for 1992) series of serial-numbered insert cards. With the exception of the Rickey Henderson "Legend" card (with is serial-numbered to 7500 copies), each card is numbered to 10,000 copies, and is sequentially numbered as an extension of the 1991 set.

Although the odds were not fully disclosed it has been estimated that the chances of pulling an Elite insert were approximately 1:55 waxboxes.

1992 Leaf Previews

Four cards from this 26-card set were randomly inserted into each Hobby (Blue Box) factory set. The cards were intended to show collectors and dealers the style of the soon-to-be-released 1992 Leaf set. Each card is sequentially-numbered "X of 26" on the back, to differentiate them from the regular base cards.
