2007 - present Donruss Elite baseball.. are these cards considered minor league cards?

digicat

Donruss has been producing cards of various draft picks and prospects for the last few years w/o any licensing from the MLBPA or MLB, so they picture the players with logos obscured, in minor league uniforms, or even college uniforms. They've got a lot of autos in the set too... but so does Tristar and Just Minors, who are known specifiically as minor leauge card producers..

So, in the grand scheme of things, do these cards count as minor league cards, major league cards, "Prospect cards", or what?


With the MLB forced "rookie card policy" that Beckett's adhering to, it seems like the "Prospect Cards" that you find in Bowman Chrome are the new XRC or something.

I put them in the same category as Bowman Draft Picks & Prospects

I would agree with the above statement. From a price aspect they always seem to sell for just a bit under the Bowman Chrome versions of a player but seem to be generally wanted by collectors more so than say Razor or Tristar. So, I would all them MLB prospect cards.

Elite is a solid product and is just a notch below chrome and draft with prospectors. Many times Elite will have players in them that topps can't touch, there are still
a handful of very good prospects that right now only have one auto and that is elite. Putting them in the same catagory with tristar and just is a huge mistake.

2009 Donruss Elite was released in January of 2010. Does that make it a 2009 release or a 2010 release?
