The 2023-24 Donruss Basketball Checklist is one to judge for not having any memorabilia content, but the autograph and insert ones try to cover it up.
Donruss Basketball continues as a retail-friendly product, maintaining its classic Rated Rookie subset, which is a staple for collectors seeking first-year cards of future NBA stars.
Moreover, with one guaranteed autograph, there are a bunch of new inserts to fall back to that are, but not limited to, hobby exclusivity and Super Short Print (SSPs).

What Is Donruss Basketball?
The Panini’s Donruss Basketball is not an original Panini product. Donruss was its own brand until panini acquired the manufacturing rights in 2009. Since then, Panini decided to continue it under its own branding, the “Panini’s Donruss Basketball.”
Just like the Prizm products from Panini, Donruss is another one of Panini’s ventures which is more retail-focused and popular for subsets like “rated rookies” and “Next Day Autographs.”

The 2023-24 Donruss Basketball Checklist Overview
The Base set has quite a checklist with 400 different players being part of it, and if you count the 100 extra “Rated Rookies,” it becomes 500. A heap of parallels accompanies both the subsets, and the list of them is quite identical, with some being outliers.
Hobby-exclusive parallels include Press Proof Silver Die-Cut (#’d/75), Holo Blue Laser (#’d/49), Press Proof Gold Die-Cut (#’d/25), Holo Gold Laser (#’d/10), and Holo Black Laser (1/1).
There are a bunch of Choice-Exclusive parallels, which include:
- Base Choice
- Choice Dragon
- Choice Red – #/99
- Choice Blue – #/49
- Choice Gold – #/10
- Choice Black Gold – #/8
- Choice Black – 1/1
The Rated Rookies subset is the most iconic and a valuable part of 2023/24 Donruss Basketball. Famous Rated Rookie cards from the set include:
- Victor Wembanyama
- Dereck Lively II
- Scoot Henderson
- Brandon Miller
- Ben Sheppard
Autograph: The Biggest Hits
The Rated Rookie Signatures act as one of the cornerstone features of the set. However, what is disappointing is there is no Victor Wembanyama Auto. Though, other notable signers include current legends of the game such as Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, and Luka Doncic.
The Next Day Autographs are taken at a time right after the player’s photo shoot, typically on their next day of the game.
More ink can be expected from the ALL-NEW! Dominator Autographs (#’d/99), which come with the Rookie Dominator variant. Both feature parallels such as Gold (#’d/10) and Black, which is a one-of-one.
Moreover, the Signature Series sums up the inclusion of autograph content with a completely new checklist featuring 82 game players who are a mix of rookies, veterans, and legends.
Other Inserts: Additions to the Set
In terms of quality insert content, the 2023 24 donruss basketball checklist is quite unmatched. There are several classics, retro designs, and even returning sets that were once very popular.
The inserts include hobby-exclusive parallels in the Retro Series, Crunch Time, Unleashed, and Net Marvels.
As for the new inclusion, there is the Hobby-Exclusive SSP insert Night Moves and Animation. Chase cards from players including Ja Morant, Jason Tatum, Nikola Jokic, Trae Young, and Damian Lillard.
Bomb Squad is another interesting insert, having an animation style design sort of reminiscent of the famous Kaboom!
The Rookies has a 5-player checklist, which again features some trendy names: Victor Wembanyama, Scoot Henderson, Brandon Miller, and the twin brothers Amen and Ausar Thompson.
Moreover, Zero Gravity! and Hardwood Masters are making their debuts too. Both feature the same set of parallels, including Red Fireworks (#’d/25), Proof Gold (#’d/10), and Proof Black (1/1), that are nothing less than eye pleasers.
Great X-Pectation is another great feature with the backdrop reminiscent of the very rare Black Color Blast. It features parallels, each one of which is a holographic and colors on the theme of laser.
Retail Exclusivity: Not Leaving Anyone Behind
The Panini Donruss Basketball Blaster Box has Holo Orange Laser (#’d/125), Holo Purple Laser (#’d/99), and Holo Red and Blue (#’d/15) parallels as exclusive additions. The Holo Pink Laser (#’d/50) can only be found in the Fat Pack boxes. Find Holo Red and Green Laser in the Mega Box exclusively.
Concluding with the retail configuration, we have Holo Green Laser and Holo Yellow Laser (#’d/25) exclusive to it.
Very seldom do we see SSPs being a part of the retail configuration. This time, we have special SSP inserts Fadeaway and Playmakers randomly dropped in the retail boxes.
