The Cuts Are, Indeed, Prime
December 19, 2008

Hall of Famers from Babe Ruth, Honus Wagner and Ty Cobb, to Ted Williams, Mickey Mantle and Joe DiMaggio highlight the Souvenir Cuts and Souvenir Stadium Cuts autographs insert in 2008 Playoff Prime Cuts IV.

Souvenir Cuts are cut autographs #'d anywhere from five to one – with several #'d as 1/1's. Souvenir Stadium Cuts are also #'d anywhere from five to one, and pays homage to Yankee Stadium. The design of the card features a picture of the now-defunct stadium while the checklist of players includes prominent Yankees from the past as well as noteworthy players who played in Yankee Stadium at some point in their careers.

The exception with the numbering of the cut signatures is DiMaggio, as there are 500 cut DiMaggio signatures in the product – 250 Souvenir Cuts and 250 Souvenir Stadium Cuts. "No product has ever featured this many DiMaggio cut signatures," says Donruss Baseball Product Brand Manager Mike Payne. "It's an incredible amount and definitely enhances the odds of pulling one."

Prime Cuts IV releases December 24.
