1997 Donruss Baseball Cards

The 1997 Donruss Baseball card set is a 450-card collection released in two series: the first with 270 cards and the second, known as “Donruss Update,” with 180 cards. This set features full-bleed color photos and a team-colored gradient section at the bottom, which houses the player’s nameplate and a silver-foil stamped team logo.

Notable rookie cards include Brian Giles, Hideki Irabu, and Jose Cruz Jr. The set also celebrated the 15th anniversary of the original Diamond Kings series, with special inserts and promotions tied to this milestone.
