Donruss Samples- Inserted in Beckett- Question
I have recently seen some of the Donruss "Sample" cards of my PC player and I was wondering if anyone could give me an estimate of the print run on these cards? I know they were inserted in the Beckett Magazine, so I feel like they would probably be pretty rare.
Thanks in advance for any information

Really? I would have never guessed that high. Especially since they seem to be somewhat scarce. Thanks for your feedback.

On some of them the gold version was about 10% of the run of the silver version, from what I've read here and other sites so it is hearsay of course

Ok, thanks. Sorry if it was a stupid question, I just can not seem to find a lot of them available. Just wanted to get some feedback. Thanks again

depends on the year, actually. the golds for 2003 donruss are worth - i believe - 10x's the amount of the silver. but that isnt true for every year

It's not hard to check the circulation numbers of magazines. They have to publish them by law. I seriously doubt Beckett sells tens of thousands of anything in a hard copy with a web presence like this available. Check the numbers from when your card was issued, though. I could be wrong.
I appreciate Chicago players that begin competing within the city's sports organizations and stay with these teams throughout their careers.

Ok, I did not know that. Thanks, I will check it out.
