2016 Donruss blaster box break recap

There are just enough wrinkles that makes 2016 Donruss a little different alternative besides the usual Topps flagship or Topps Heritage - for at least the casual baseball card collector, who can embrace the quirks of a non-MLB licensed baseball card product. 

While clean and relatively colorful the Donruss base cards are simply boring however - maybe it's defeats the point of collecting, but it's all about parallels, assorted inserts and one autograph or memorabilia card per blaster box.

Unlike pictures seen on many Topps cards this year, there is not much personality going on with the images used for Donruss - having team logos on cards and on uniforms is something I take for granted, but when the logos aren’t there on cards picturing ‘big league’ players, it's kind of a blemish that sticks out.
