2001 Donruss was the first entry level baseball trading card product to feature short-printed and serial-numbered rookie cards. While short-printing may have appealed to the football card audience, unfortunately, by limiting the production of each "Rated Rookie" to only 2001 copies (not including the Albert Pujols and Ben Sheets exchange cards -- each limited to 500), D-P made the decision, whether they knew it or not (and they probably didn't) to abandon the one segment of the market that traditionally purchases base level baseball card products. The segment that had been the cornerstone of the Donruss brand since 1981: Set builders.
The Anniversary Originals are prominent buy-back original cards and RC's (as 2001 Donruss' production team perceived) from Donruss' past that were bought back, submitted to BGS for grading, and seeded one into each hobby wax box. Each card was given a "20th Anniversary Originals" notation on the slab's label. Plus autograph cards stated on the label how many existed in total of that particular card. For example, the 1982 Donruss Cal Ripken Jr. RC had 23 copies graded by BGS and seeded into boxes. These were graded in numerical order, so if you have the BGS serial number of one of the cards- you can look them all up at BGS' Graded Card Look-Up.
NOTE: Playoff's Customer Service Manager (James McCay) along with the Production Manager of 2001 Donruss discovered about (650) total 2000 Retro cards of ICHIRO "RC" #95 (where Ben Sheets 2000 Retro #95 was also placed in Playoff's redemption drawer). These cards were produced without any knowledge of the Senior Production Manager of this product (Kimberly Ammons). Upper Deck had an EXCLUSIVE LICENSE to produce all but base rookie cards of Ichiro until the start of the regular season, then had an Exclusive to any insert Ichiro cards until the middle of the regular season. Playoff had every intention of releasing these 2000 Retro Ichiro #95 cards (along with the low serial numbered Stat Line parallels) BEFORE Upper Deck's Exclusive date expiration. So they had to be destroyed, or Playoff could have lost their baseball licensing the first year they got it back! So Mr. McCay and Ms. Ammons destroyed all but about (20 to 25) of these cards in the shredder Playoff had in the Customer Service area. There were three versions and oddly not one of them had a serial number. The base version was to be numbered to 500, and two Stat Line inserts: Season Stat Line numbered to 21 (number of Home Runs Ichiro hit in his last year in Japan), and Career Stat Line numbered to 182 (number of Doubles Ichiro hit in his career in Japan). The very few of these cards that eventually entered the hobby have sold for between $300.00-$1,000 per card. Beckett's pricing of this card has never been anywhere near accurate. There are several websites that have been up for up to and over 10-years explaining these cards and quoting actual SELL prices. James McCay has been very open and honest about these cards as he was the whistleblower on much fraud Playoff was engaged in that he had iron-clad proof of (and he still does). It's not at all hard to find his e-mail address online as recently as 2016. So you can ask him any questions yourself.
Note: All cards are serial numbered to 2001 copies, except cards #156 and #159. Card #156 was scheduled to be Brian Cole, but in early 2001 he was tragically killed in an automobile crash and Donruss pulled his card from production. It is unclear whose card #159 was supposed to be (probably C.C. Sabathia), but whoever he was, he was also pulled. Both Cole and mystery player #159 were replaced with exchange cards for Albert Pujols and Ben Sheets.
Although 500 copies of each redemption card were inserted into packs, and each Pujols and Sheets exchange card is serial numbered to 500, it is believed that only about half the Pujols cards were actually fulfilled. -how-many-donruss-albert-pujols.html
Additionally, some Ichiro RCs (which were actually Hobby-only) featured a different font type stamp that was wider and bolder/thicker than the standard narrow and thin stamp used throughout the set for serial-numbered inserts and parallels. These were actually legitimately-stamped damage replacement copies that were issued out. Specifically, Playoff had blanks of every card for replacement purposes but utilized a different heat printing machine for these and destroyed the original card. James McCay, Senior Manager at Donruss/Playoff back in the day confirmed this and personally renumbered damage replacement copies himself.
To make it up to exchange card holders, Donruss printed up a special batch of SSL's and contracted with the two athletes in question to autograph these cards. The cards were Donruss' first to feature the now infamous "Sticker Autograph." Also, these autographed SSLs were not serial numbered.
Similar to the Season Stat Lines, this time each is serial numbered to a specific career statistic. In most (but not all) instances, there are more copies of a player's Career Stat Line(CSL) than his Season Stat Line (SSL).
At the March 2002 Chicago Sun-Times Show, if a collector opened a Hobby of 2001 Donruss Baseball box at the Donruss-Playoff corporate booth, they would received a card from what Donruss-Playoff called the "Chicago Collection". Donruss-Playoff created a limited amount of singles from selected products and serial-numbered each card to five.
The "1999" Retroactives were inserted into hobby packs and the "2000s" in retail. Both sets are 100 cards with eighty veterans and 20 serial-numbered "Rated Rookies." In addition, there are a slew of Stat Line parallels, and five additional Diamond King Inserts. Unfortunately, rather than simply including it with the other 2001 cards, the Retroactive card was wrapped separately in it's own one-card "pack." These single-card packs were extremely difficult to open, and as a result, many of the Retroactives were damaged coming out of the pack.
NOTE: Similar to the the Ichiro Rated Rookies /2001, Additionally, some players (e.g, Griffey) featured a different font type stamp that was wider and bolder/thicker than the standard narrow and thin stamp used throughout the set for serial-numbered inserts and parallels. These were actually legitimately-stamped damage replacement copies that were issued out. Specifically, Playoff had blanks of every card for replacement purposes but utilized a different heat printing machine for these and destroyed the original card. James McCay, Senior Manager at Donruss/Playoff back in the day confirmed this and personally renumbered some of the rarer damage replacement copies himself.

This five-card set features Diamond King cards that Donruss would have produced had they been around 1999. The design is based on the "Gridiron Kings" insert from 1999 Donruss Football. Each card is serial numbered to 2500 copies, with a "Studio Series" version (complete with faux canvas fronts) numbered to 250.
In 2007, The Cardboard Junkie scanned a "2000" Retroactive Rated Rookie of C.C. Sabathia to his popular baseball card blog. When inquired about it, he claims that he received it from Donruss-Playoff as a bonus after sending an unrelated redemption card. Although the Junkie's "2000" Sabathia is serial numbered "247/500," it is unclear just how many Sabathia's are on the market.
Additionally, some Ichiro XRCs (which were actually Hobby-only) featured a different font type stamp that was wider and bolder/thicker than the standard narrow and thin stamp used throughout the set for serial-numbered inserts and parallels. These were actually legitimately-stamped damage replacement copies that were issued out. Specifically, Playoff had blanks of every card for replacement purposes but utilized a different heat printing machine for these and destroyed the original card.

This five-card set features Diamond King cards that Donruss would have produced had they been around in 2000. The design is based on the "Gridiron Kings" from 2000 Donruss Football. Each card is serial numbered to 2500 copies, with a "Studio Series" version (complete with faux canvas fronts) numbered to 250. The insertion ratio was not listed, but on average every seventh retail blaster box (1:119/retail packs) yielded a DK.
A Diamond Kings set featuring ten Hall of Famers. What's not to like? Each card is serial numbered to 2500 copies, with a Studio Series parallel version numbered to 250, with the first fifty copies autographed.
This massive sixty-card set features 2000's league leaders in three offensive statistics. Cards 1-20 are the leaders in on-base percentage, 21-40 in slugging percentage, and 41-60 in the "power index" -- a stat more commonly referred to as "OPS." Each card is serial numbered to the player's respective 2000 stat in that category multiplied by 1000.
This set features five players from the regular Diamond Kings and five from the All-Time Diamond Kings. The cards have a reprint of their Diamond King next to an oval shaped splinter of one of their game-used bats. Each is serial numbered to 250 copies.
This set is an autographed parallel of the Diamond Kings Reprints. Each card is serial numbered to the year the card made its appearance in the Donruss set, minus 1900. Eleven of the nineteen autographees packed out as redemptions. 2b1af7f3a8
