Donruss 2015 Cubs

In a post last week I compared the Topps sticker set to Jan Brady.  It that's the case, then today I've got the cousin Oliver of the baseball card world, Donruss.

Panini continues to crank out logoless sets.  I buy only the Cubs cards because I feel the need to keep the Donruss run.  I have all the cards from the original Donruss and feel obligated to add the Panini renditions.

The Cubs set has nine cards, two retired guys and seven active players.

 

Retired Ryno and Ernie made the set.  I know why Panini had to remove logos, but when did they feel a need to change the color of the numbers on Sandberg's jersey from red to blue?

 

 

 

 

 

Most of these don't look too bad because the Cubs chest logo was covered by their arms.  I'm sure Panini tries to pick pictures that need the smallest amount of doctoring.  

The Lester card could have used more work because it shows him wearing #31, but the Chicago Baseball Club has retired that number.

Odd that Panini has to cover the MLB logos but in the Rizzo card they are more than happy to give CitiBank some free advertising.

Diamond Kings are a part of the set, which is good.  You can't have Donruss without Diamond Kings.

Nice design feature that covers the front of the hat and the logo.  There's also more free advertising, as the Nike logo shows up.

The cards have been put into the pocket pages and added to the Donruss binder.  I'm done with Donruss for the year.

Cousin Oliver was in just six episodes of the Brady Bunch before it was cancelled.  Will we have to suffer through six sets of logoless Donruss before it is cancelled?
