1998 Donruss Collections
Contents
Description
1998 Donruss Collections is a massive 750-card Topps Chrom-esque parallel brand that draws from four previously released sets: 1998 Donruss Baseball, 1998 Leaf, 1998 Donruss Elite, and 1998 Donruss Preferred. Like Topps/Bowman Chrome, all cards are printed on chromium stock and feature Refractor-like parallels.
The set is fractured so that the 200 Donruss cards are the most common and the 200 Donruss Preferred cards are the rarest -- in fact, according to Donruss only 1100 copies of each Donruss Collections Preferred cards were printed.
Each card is sequentially numbered twice: Its regular card number in the original set, and its place in the Donruss Collections set. For example: Derek Jeter is card #8 in the 1998 Donruss Elite set; but in Donruss Collections Elite, Jeter is #408.

Parallels
Prized Collections
Each of the 750 base cards are available in a Prized Collections parallel. Like the base set being a clone for Topps/Bowman Chrome, these cards are nothing more than a Refractor knock-off. Although none of the cards are serial-numbered, Donruss did announce specific production figures for each subset.
- Donruss Baseball Prized Collections (560 copies)
- Leaf Prized Collections (400 copies)
- Donruss Elite Prized Collections (220 copies)
- Donruss Preferred Prized Collections (55 copies)
