Agreed. It has ZERO to do with the Donruss Collections set.

It is in the 2004 Standard Catalog of Baseball Cards where it says that it is a sample card that "was intended to preview the 1998 Leaf Limited issue which was never released". Nothing to do with the Donruss Collections set.

To me it should be a stand-alone titled as "1998 Leaf Limited Star Factor Sample".

Well that is what I originally said, but nobody chimed in to say they agree only the others that stated to put it where I put it.

That is another reason I hate Beckett and everything they do in the hobby. The "L Limited" logo is for "Leaf Limited" yet on their own, they name the set "Donruss Limited". Then their idiot followers start using the same stupidity in referring to the set "because that is how Beckett named it". Beckett did not produce the set; why are they wrongly naming it? Do they know that little about the hobby and companies, that Leaf and Donruss were made by the same company for many years?

This was a sample card for the 1998 Donruss Limited set. The set was never released.

Well thank you all for your input. i added the scans and marked it in my collection. If someone thinks it should be moved I'm okay with it. I don't know which is right I just wanted the card added somewhere. Thanks again, Joe

Always looking for Blackhawk hockey, Notre Dame Football, White Sox and Bears Stuff. I have a plaque in my card room that says, "I could have been a millionaire but my mom threw out my baseball cards". How apropos!!! Collecting Chicago Blackhawks Hockey, Doug Wilson Hockey, Chicago Bears Older, Notre Dame Football in their college jerseys and Chicago White Sox.
