The wait is over as 2022 Donruss basketball hobby boxes are now available for purchase at eBay and all the other online card shops. Our biggest takeaway from the set is Donruss has dropped the relic from the expected output, offering one autograph per box.

To make matters worse, the 2022-23 NBA rookie crop of players isn’t particularly impressive in our eyes, offering only one player who we genuinely love long-term from an investment standpoint.
When/What/Rating
Release Date: March 8, 2023
Hobby Configuration: 30 cards per pack | 10 packs per box | 10 boxes per case
Nerd Rating: 6.5 out of 10
Bottom Line: A down year for Donurss and basketball rookie cards. We won’t buy boxes but may pick up some packs at Target or Walmart.
