Won this last night. Anybody have any idea on how many of these "not intended for release" cards actually made it into 2005 Donruss boxes. I probably busted 25-30 boxes of 2005 Donruss and got 2. I'm just guessing, but maybe 50-100 per player, maybe less?

Why are they "not intended for release"?

It's a good question. Donruss did an "Inside View" insert set in 2004. When the 2005 product was released, some of these cards were packed out, but Donruss said it was a mistake and they were not intended for release. Donruss was tight lipped as to why, but if you ever see one of these cards in person, they're pretty ugly and I'm guessing Donruss wasn't happy with their production value. Photos look muted and the "film scratching" effect the card was going for doesn't work very well. I've seen estimates as low as 25 copies made per player. No one knows for sure. Not priced in Beckett due to scarcity. I thought the Arod for $7 was a steal.

I don't think I hit any of those myself but I busted a TON of '05 Donruss and this post reminds me what a blast it was for a base product. There were really cool hits and inserts in seemingly every other pack

I've only seen up to the triple on Bags. I have the single, double, and triple. If the Homerun ever comes up and I have some expendable cash...its on!
