I found an article from last March which mentions Joe White, the man who acquired much of Donruss' game used items accepted a job as VP at Historic Auctions.
It'll be interesting to see if any of the historic auctions items which have been acquired will find their way back to Donruss.
Below find a section of the article and a link to the story

Historic Auctions Expands, Readies for May Event
3/31/2006 4:26:33 PM
Industry veteran Joe White, formerly of Beckett Publications and Donruss Trading Cards, has accepted a VP position with Historic Auctions, the Seminole, Fla.-based auction house that completed a successful maiden auction last December.
White spent four years with Donruss from 2002 to 2005, where he was charged with acquiring the vast majority of that company’s autographs and game-worn memorabilia. His time there was highlighted by the purchase of a 1925-era Babe Ruth Yankees pinstriped jersey for $265,000 in 2003. Prior to that, White spent five years at Beckett as an assistant price guide editor for Beckett Football.
“I’m proud to be working with a company of Historic Auctions’ caliber,” White says. “They are well respected in our industry and I’m honored to be a part of their team. I look forward to using the experience and knowledge I’ve gained in the game-used memorabilia arena to help Historic grow their burgeoning sports auction business.”
