Studio is a very strong product for Donruss/Playoff which continues in the tradition established in the early 1990's as a fan friendly product. Each of the players in the base set is posed with a "skyline" background and the back features a nice mix of biographical information as well as factual information about the player. In addition, there are no short prints in the set which makes these sets possible to complete with just busting a couple of boxes and some trades.

We were also very impressed by averaging one "hit" per pack. Now granted, not every hit is more than a bunt single, but getting a nice card in every pack sure adds "value" to the opening of this product.
