2023-24 DONRUSS BASKETBALL
2023-24 Donruss Basketball is one of those sets that collectors can sink into several ways. Whether they’re into building the base set, going aer autographs, chasing out-there inserts or building out a large roster of cards from their favorite players or teams, the checklist has a lot going on.
Hobby boxes opted for a jumbo format this year with big 30-card packs. Each of these boxes promises one autograph and 60 total inserts and parallels across 10 packs.
e base set is split into a couple of sections. Vets have standard player cards. For first-year standouts, there’s the cornerstone Rated Rookie subset.
Parallels come in a wide mix of varieties. Press Proof Silver Die-Cut (/75), Holo Blue Laser (/49), Press Proof Gold Die-Cut (/25), Holo Gold Laser (/10) and Holo Black Laser (1/1) are all exclusive to hobby. Smaller Choice boxes have three parallels not found in any other configurations: Choice, Choice Dragon, Choice Red (/99), Choice Blue (/49), Choice Gold (/10), and Choice Black (1/1).
Rated Rookies Signatures add an autograph level for select cards. Among the parallels for these Choice Blue and Choice Black Gold.
More ink is available in Dominators Autographs, Rookie Dominators Autographs and Next Day Autographs, which have on-card signatures.
When you look across all the different 2023-24 Donruss Basketball configurations in hobby and retail, there are a lot of insert sets. Crunch Time, Hardwood Masters, Net Marvels, Retro Series, Unleashed, and Zero Gravity are all only in hobby packs.
So are Animation and Night Moves, a pair of tough short print chase sets.
