What are these options?
- Hobby Box
- The full-size box sold through card shops rather than big-box stores. It has the most packs and the best odds, and most modern hobby boxes guarantee at least one autograph or memorabilia card. Pack and card counts vary by product line. Older listings sometimes call this a wax box.
- Blaster Box
- The small retail box sold at stores like Walmart and Target, usually the cheapest full box on the shelf. Autographs are not guaranteed, but many blasters carry exclusive parallels you cannot pull from a hobby box.
- choice
- Panini sells Choice as its own box tier, built around a single pack holding base cards, parallels and a guaranteed hit. The Choice-only parallels are the draw, and they carry the word in their names. Look for Choice Red, Blue, Black Gold and the one of one Choice Nebula, so the card itself tells you which box it came from. Autograph counts vary by product line. On this productChoice boxes carry exclusive Choice parallels: Base Choice Red numbered to 99, Blue to 49, Gold to 10, and Black Gold to 8.
- Cases
- The factory-sealed carton a product ships in, holding a set number of boxes. A full case is the whole carton; an inner case is a smaller sealed block from inside it. Case buyers get untouched pack sequencing and a lower price per box. Some rare cards are seeded about once per case, which is what collectors mean by a case hit.

Frequently asked
What are the key rookies in this set?
The headliners are Paolo Banchero, Chet Holmgren, and Jabari Smith Jr., the top three picks of the 2022 NBA Draft. They anchor the Rated Rookies subset (#201-250) and appear in the Next Day Autographs set. All 50 rookies in the class are included in Rated Rookies with multiple parallels.
How many autographs should I expect per box?
You'll average one autograph per hobby box. These come primarily from the Next Day Autographs subset, which features on-card signatures of the 2022 rookie class.
What are the Holo Laser parallels and how rare are they?
Holo Laser parallels come in several tiers: Red Laser (no print run announced), Blue Laser (/49), Gold Laser (/10), and Black Laser (1/1). These are hobby-only and represent the most visually striking parallels in the set. The numbered versions are significantly scarcer than the base Red Laser.
What makes Donruss different from other 2022-23 basketball releases?
Donruss leans heavily into insert sets and parallels, with 60 total inserts or parallels per box on average. The set features unique themes like Net Marvels (comic-inspired), Night Moves (SSP with black backdrops), and Animation (illustrated cards). It's also one of the earliest NBA releases of the season.
Are there any short-print inserts I should know about?
Night Moves and Animation are both noted as tough SSP inserts. Night Moves makes its basketball debut with a black backdrop and colorful highlights. Animation uses illustrations instead of photos to showcase player movement.
What's the base set size and design?
The base set is 250 cards total, mixing current stars and first-year standouts. Cards 1-200 are established players, and cards 201-250 are the Rated Rookies. The base set has numerous parallels ranging from common (Choice Dragon, Green Laser Holo) to ultra-rare (Black Laser 1/1).
Is this a good value compared to other early-season releases?
Donruss offers solid value if you're chasing rookies and inserts. With one guaranteed autograph per box and 60 inserts/parallels on average, there's plenty of chase content. The Rated Rookies parallels, especially the numbered Laser versions, hold collector appeal.
