2018-19 Donruss Optic Basketball keeps the shiny chromium and colorful inserts that fans of the brand will be familiar with. Also back are on-card Rated Rookie Autographs of some of the biggest first-year players in the league.  



2018-19 Donruss Optic Basketball Overview


2018-19 Donruss Optic Basketball is an Opti-chrome take on the year’s regular Donruss set. That means a lot of the same layout and designs, only with the added shine that comes with chrome.


The Optic base set has a rainbow of colors. Examples include Holo, Orange (/199), Lime Green (/149), Red (/99), Pink Velocity (/79), Blue (/49), Black Velocity (/39), Gold (/10), Green (/5) and Gold Vinyl (1/1).







Rated Rookies Signatures feature on-card signatures. With players like Trae Young, Luka Doncic, Jaren Jackson Jr. and more, this rookie class has a lot of potential. These also come in several different parallels with each color being more exclusive than the next: Holo, Blue (/49), Gold (/10), Green (/5), and Gold Vinyl (1/1).






Additional autographed inserts in 2018-19 Donruss Optic Basketball include Dominators Signatures, which have separate checklists for veterans, rookies and Hall of Famers.


Other offerings include hobby-exclusive inserts like Retro Series, All Clear for Takeoff and Swishful Thinking. These also come in many colors such as Holo, Red (/99), Blue (/49), Gold (/10), Green (/5), and Gold Vinyl (1/1).






Each box should have one auto in it and each pack should have an insert.

The union of the two has been warmly embraced by collectors and has delivered some of the most in-demand single cards on the market. Today, that process continues with the release of 2018-19 Donruss Optic Basketball.


A product that’s virtually guaranteed to sell out upon release, 2018-19 Donruss Optic Basketball delivers, on average, one autograph and 20 inserts or parallels per hobby box (four cards per pack, 20 packs per box, 12 boxes per case).
