2020 Donruss Baseball Forum

Hello,

I purchased a Phil Niekro autographed “buyback” card and need help finding the re-release year. It is a 1982 Donruss card #475 that has been signed and is serial numbered to 20. I have attached pictures of the front and back of the card. The seller told me that the card was pulled from a 2021 pack. Can you confirm or correct this information? Is there a checklist of these buyback autographed cards?

Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated.

It's a 2020 Donruss Recollection Collection buyback auto.  The "recollection collection" stamp obviously missed at the factory but if you look at the ebay link, then your card, you can see where there is a partial imprint.

Thank you!! Is there a list of the 2020 Donruss Recollection Collection buyback auto cards? I have a couple others that may be part of this set.

Unfortunately, like so many of these buybacks, a true checklist is never released by the company.  So the checklist on TCDB is always a work in progress. For this set, it is listed as an insert set here - https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/226637/2020-Donruss---Recollection-Collection-Buyback-Autographs

As the note to the set says, “The checklist is a work in progress. Please use the inaccuracies reporting link for the set to report any missing cards. Please include the card number, name, and team in the request”. So if you have cards to add, please submit an IR to have them added to the checklist.

I have already added your Niekro card for you.
