Database Organization:

This 1998 Donruss Crusade baseball cards database is organized by:

Types: Pack Issued, Replacements, Executive Master Set Editions, and Unreleased
Image Galleries: For each of the three colors – Green, Purple, and Red
Cumulative Checklists: For each of the four types
The database concludes with a small section for Errors

Release Formats:

It’s important here to note that the pack issued variety is the only type that was meant for public consumption and had an official release date complete with a marketing budget. All other types – Replacements, Executive Master Set Editions, and Unreleased – weren’t meant for public consumption but likely made their way into the secondary market through employee backdooring during the Pinnacle bankruptcy.

Pack Issued

The 1998 Donruss Crusade baseball set consists of 130 cards of which come in three different color parallels – Green, Purple, and Red – with each color accompanied by a unique print run. The first 100 cards in the set depict veteran stars while the remaining 30 feature young hopefuls.

1998 Donruss Crusade is a multi-product release; the first 100 cards were randomly inserted into three products: 1998 Donruss (40), 1998 Leaf (30), and 1998 Donruss Update (30). All “Call to Arms” (CTA) subset cards were mistakenly printed without card numbers. Cards 101-130 were inserted into packs of 1998 Leaf Rookies and Stars.

Travis Lee 1998 Leaf Rookies and Stars #105 Red Replacement

Executive Master Set Editions

While it’s unknown if these were made for 1998 Leaf Rookie and Stars Crusade Update cards (#101-130), it’s believed that examples of each of the first 100 cards in the pack issued 1998 Donruss Crusade set can be found with X’s in the numerator position of the serial numbers. These are called Executive Master Set Editions a.k.a. Executive Proofs. They were printed for final review before the product went into official production and release.

While print runs aren’t confirmed, it’s likely every card of this version regardless of color was printed in the same quantity. That said, however, it’s believed that that particular quantity is exceptionally small, possibly less than 10. Again, there’s no way to confirm this other than assumptions from sales observations over time. If you’re chasing a specific player in the set, this stuff makes for excellent additions to the PC.

Unreleased

The 1998 Donruss Crusade set was initially intended to be a two-part series, the latter of which was never officially released due to the Pinnacle bankruptcy. Had this second wave been released, the full set would’ve been much bigger. The second wave features flipped designs i.e., cards of players depicted on the Call to Arms (CTA) design in the first wave are depicted on the standard 1998 Donruss Crusade design in the second wave, and vice versa. Unlike the pack issued CTAs, the unreleased CTAs possess card numbers and the card backs are flipped vertically.

Because this second wave was never officially released, the cards in it aren’t found in any database or price guide, which makes them that much more mysterious. This stuff is incredibly rare and expensive.

Errors

So far, this is the only error I’ve found in the 1998 Donruss Crusade set.

Mark McGwire 1998 Donruss Crusade #93 Purple /100 CTA Error (Wrong Print Run)

As you can see, the 1998 Donruss Crusade baseball card set is one of the most complex runs of its era if not in history. The multiple versions and colors puts teeth on an already difficult and expensive run and can have even the most financially nutrient and severely dedicated collectors giving up on putting a run together. Regardless however, the 1998 Donruss Crusade set is one of the most collected in the hobby for two reasons: It’s a beautiful set aesthetically, and presents enough challenge to satisfy even those with deep pockets and Lamborghini taste.

Summary:

The 1998 Donruss Crusade baseball set is one of the most aggregate releases of the 1990s. Its intrigue is captured by stunning design qualities, complex albeit mysterious release formats, and a polished player roster. Given its comprehensive nature, I knew from the start this was going to be one of the most aggressive projects I’d ever tackle.

What you see here is well over 300 hours of technical labor and several years of content collection. The scope of this project was highly ambitious and required over 6 months of work, proficient technical competency, and a careful attention to detail. I’m quite proud of the final result and hope you enjoy it as much as I do. This is the 1998 Donruss Crusade Baseball Master Resource.

just saw a few executive master griffeys sell for enormous prices on ebay and ended up here trying to figure out exactly what they were compared to the pack issued releases which i was familiar with. great resource.

  Thanks, Mark. Yea, I watched those auctions too.

Awesome resource. Any way to connect w the owner of the Rickey Henderson card?

  Hi Tim,
  Thanks for the comment. There’s probably a way to contact the owner of the Henderson card but not through us.

I have been going down the rabbit hole of these recently. Do you have an estimate of how many of these potentially exist of Jeter – single copy of each color or more? The Red CTA is more readily available for sure and that is once every 2-3 years from the looks of it. Thank you!

  Hi Milan,
  Thanks for the comment. I moved your comment here to the associated blog post. To answer your question about quantity, there’s no way to know for sure but the estimate is above 1 since sales of some of the Unreleased cards have happened more than once. Although, even with that in mind it’s difficult to tell if it’s more than one example or the same example changing hands. In terms of quantity per color, since these were never officially but slated to be released, I’d imagine they’d have carried the same production runs as those that were in the first, and released, series. I hope that makes sense.

Great content, any information on 1998 Donruss Crusade Red Football? Is there the same crossover and mystery as the baseball segment? Thanks!

  Hi David,
  Thanks for the comment. As it stands, I don’t know about the football release; I haven’t done the research.
