Basic Features

In November, the 1985 Donruss Highlights package was released, and it quickly became highly well-liked. In actuality, before all of the orders could be filled, the product was sold out. The 56-card set included pictures of players who received various honors throughout the season. The NL and AL Player and Pitcher of the Month awards were given out most frequently. The final two cards displayed the Donruss projections for the Rookie of the Year from both leagues, while other cards highlighted a variety of career accomplishments. The set also came with a small puzzle featuring Lou Gehrig in addition to the cards.

The team emblem was changed to a "Highlights" logo in the bottom right corner of the card, and the border stripes were yellow/gold instead of red as in the flagship design.
