2018 Donruss Optic - All the Dodgers Cards

Panini America released their newest Baseball card set this week and I have pics of most of the Dodgers' cards found within packs. Go here for a complete checklist.

Overall, this is an extremely disappointing set. The images for the base cards are exact carbon copies of their 2018 Donruss set; with the exception being the two Rated Rookie players -Walker Buehler and Alex Verdugo. All they did was slap a different card design on the same pics. You can compare here. There are also a few insert cards that are exact copies from the Donruss set -- Longball Leaders, Mound Marvels and Out of This World. All they did was change the Donruss logo to an Optic logo.

Check out all the cards below.

**The text for the normal base card reads:

Buehler shot up the ranks during the 2018 season, starting at Class-A Rancho Cucamonga and finishing as a member of the Los Angeles Bullpen. Prior to arriving in the bigs, the right-hander compiled a 3.35 ERA with 126 strikeouts over 88.2 innings, earning the organization's minor league pitcher of the year honors.

**The text for the variation card reads:

Buehler, battling for a roration spot, heard his name called for the Los Angeles' spring tilt against Chicago on March 10, 2018. He made a strong case with a stellar outing, needing just 17 pitches to get through two shutout frames. The Vanderbilt product allowed one hit to the north siders and fanned five batters.
