First impressions: 2011 Donruss Elite Extra Edition baseball

By Chris Olds | Beckett Baseball Editor | Commentary
Some of the first behind-the-scenes glimpses of real, printed cards from Panini America’s first MLBPA-approved baseball card set, 2011 Donruss Elite, have arrived.

Turn Back the Clock: Beckett Monthly magazine, December 1984
12.27
By Chris Olds | Beckett Baseball Editor | Commentary
