	This is some more fyi on the Donruss baseball cards for 92.
    
- Cards will be printed on the best-ever DONRUSS card stock with
  color photos front and back with an anti-counterfeit feature on
every card. The suggested retail price is $0.99 per foil pack with
production limited. So that means will see them for $1.50 - $2.00
a pack or even higher.

-----------------
- 396 card set, 15-cards/pack,36-packs/box,20-boxes/case 
- Color photos on the back of every card.
- Anti-counterfeit feature on the back of the card has Donruss
  repeated across the back without interfering with the readability
  of the statistics or career highlights because it is integrated in
  the glossy coating of the card. You will see DONRUSS Preview card 
  in the lower left-hand corner as you tilt the card to the light.
- Packaging will be tamper-evident gold foil rather than the wax pack.
  boxes will be shrink wrapped.
