Always thought it was a vastly underrated product, especially the "prized" (refractor) cards.
Not that I'm trying to make a "prized" (refractor) set, but occasionally I'll pick up some of those. I just listed several on eBay of the rarest versions (limited to 55) and even "commons" like mo vaughn and rusty greer are getting looks and follows.
No doubt this was Donruss' version of chrome. In fact it's a carbon copy of that technology, right to the refractor shine.
Although not numbered, the "prized" parallels (refractors) each have a stated print run, each "set" has its prized cards limited to a lower print run, all the way down to 55 MADE for the "Preferred" cards.
Below is the baseballcardpedia write up.
1998 Donruss Collections is a massive 750-card Topps Chrome-esque parallel brand that draws from four previously released sets: 1998 Donruss Series One, 1998 Leaf, 1998 Donruss Elite, and 1998 Donruss Preferred.
The set is fractured so that the 200 BASE Donruss cards are the most common and the 200 Donruss Preferred BASE cards are the rarest -- in fact, according to Donruss only 1400 copies of each BASE Donruss Collections Preferred cards were printed.
