1990 Donruss

Yes, you are reading that title right. I bought a repack from Target and got not only a regular pack of 90 Donruss, but a freaking rack pack of the product too. Haven't decided what to do with the rack pack, but I was pretty shocked we have never ripped open one of these here at APTBNL.

I do not remember those so orange. Anyone remember the contest? Grand prize was $10k and a trip for 4, with hotel, to the 1991 All-Star game. Frist prize: $500 and a trip for 4 to Cooperstown. 2nd was a Rawlings baseball glove. 3rd, an official 1991 All Star cap. 4th netted you a baseball and 5th was 5 packs of Donruss. Value of those 5 packs? $2.50. Ahhhhh, the good ol' days. But I am getting off tracks. 16 cards and the famous Donruss puzzle piece, with Yaz being the star this year.

Mike Bielecki, Pat Shields, Bob Kipper and Boever. The lighting on the Sheridan and the Kipper is pretty poor. Boever looks WAY too happy.

 

 

I GOT BIP'D!!!!

Jeff Reed, Bip Roberts, Tom Brunansky and Randy Ready. Wow.....someone wake me up.

Joey Belle, Greg Hibbard, Jamie Moyer and Bryan Harvey. A pre-Albert, a nice White Sox, a 5th year Moyer (which would make him like 42 or 43 years old on the card) and a nobody.

Rex Hudler, Mike Gallego, Steve Farr and Brad Komminsk. By the way - the font totally sucks on these cards. The names are tough to read. The Hudler is nice in that I seem to see just the blue road Expos unis on cards. The whites looked much nicer.

 

Here's the puzzle piece and the back for old times sake. Almost as orange as the wax. Well, that was fun. Junk wax at its finest.
