2026 Donruss and 2026 Bowman

 A few weeks back I won an auction for a lot containing 2026 Donruss from Ebay. It was the first half of the set minus 7 or 8 cards (I have a few in my sport lots box, but the rest are noted in my Donruss Set builds). I scanned the first nine cards as by now most have already seen them.



Not Panini's worst design and at least they filled the back with "stuff". I also picked up a large chunk of the second half of this set (Rated) last week over in Deland.

As for the 2026 Bowman, I picked up quite a bit at the Deland card show which I will start highlighting (mainly the Prospects, and the Chrome Prospects) and the other pick ups later this week. I made 2 purchases at the show with a total of about 800 cards plus the cards Jeremy brought me.

  1. I agree it is a nice design. Similar to some of the past designs including the back. It would be fun to see a peak of the second half. Enjoy the day and hobby all!

  3. I don't follow closely but my sense of Panini's baseball designs has been that for whatever reason they've been sorta monochrome (grey plus a team color) and plain compared to the football designs. These are kind of wonderfully two team colored and as a result are some of the nicer ones I've seen them make ever.

  4. I'm guessing Red Sox fans are happy to see Varitek base cards are still being produced.
