Somehow, no one had graced this blog with the presence of 1991 Donruss Series 1. Now it's up to me to rectify that. Perhaps this will be an ELITE pack?
57 - Jack McDowell (There was some sort of Turn Back the Clock event in 1990 which was captured on a lot of 1991 White Sox baseball cards.)
381 - Joe Oliver
376 - Donnie Hill (That's quite a 'stache you've got there, Donnie.)
372 - Luis Salazar (Yeah, right. This is how it's done.)
367 - Tim Naehring
361 - Mark Grant (Was once traded for current Cardinals bullpen coach Derek Lilliquist.)
355 - Steve Finley
53 - Rickey Henderson All-Star (Finally, a viable baseball player to talk about. Actually, Finley was pretty viable.)
21 - Dave Righetti Diamond King (I don't remember pulling this card back in the day, but I bet if I looked in my old boxes I probably have 7 of these.)
47 - Darrin Fletcher (Still sporting the classic Rated Rookie logo!)
61 - Mike Walker (Mike Walker? Who cares. Sounds like a morning drive time radio host.)
385 - Gene Nelson
380 - Glenallen Hill (He had loads of potential.)
375 - Jose Uribe
371 - Juan Gonzalez (Juan Gone tried to make a comeback with the Cardinals a couple of years ago only to quitely disappear during spring training. Makes you wonder...)
49-50-51 - Willie Stargell Puzzle (Complete with part of the pack wrapper. How lucky!)If you are still reading this, you'll know that I did not receive any Donruss Elite inserts, numbered to 10,000. I am quite convinced that these things do not exist in real life. Somewhere, there's probably an office full of Monopoly-looking dudes rolling these things up and smoking them while swimming in piles of gold coins.

I think they line the cages of their mini-giraffes with them just to spite us.
How I hate this set.
Even if this pack was loaded with nothing but Nolan Ryan cards, Diamond Kings, and those mythical "Elite" cards you speak of, I still would have shame rated this pack. 1991 Donruss sucks.
When somebody says "junk wax", what immediately pops into my head is a picture of one of these pasty-ass cream colored packs.
Nice time capsule though:
Total number of cards: 15
Total number of mullets: at least 5
Total number of players of color: 5
Players of color without mullets: 5
Someone actually rated this one "Okay".
Hahahah, this is the first baseball set I ever had, my dad would buy me team sets at Wal-Mart, somehow I still managed to survive and keep collecting
