1989 Donruss
User Comments |
First pack of cards I ever opened from a People's Drug store in Potomac, MD. I got a Cal Ripken and a Bo Jackson, my two favorite players. I was hooked from there! | ||
My Grandfather use to own a Vending company. He got sick and my Grandmother took it over. She use to bring me to the wholesaler and my eyes lit up when I saw this box.

I forgot to mention that without a uv light you won't be able to identify the 6 variations, sorry to make your lives now as frustrating as mine trying to find them all, and allegedly a small portion of the variants are extremely hard to come by only in 1 to 5 percent of the billions of copies made so good luck and i can show you 6 rickey hendersons all different and 5 jose canseco mvps all different with uv light. | ||
yall forgot about glowbacks and non glowbacks, even though the above mentioned variants fall into glowbacks or non glowbacks, what I am having trouble in putting together my complete set is how many of the cards have 6 variations so i can figure out how many damn binder sheets i need, holy crap this is a giant set. | ||

I still think this is one of the coolest card designs of any set! I still love looking at these cards. | ||
The first pack of cards I ever opened was a pack of 1989 Donruss, I remember because my older cousin who was super into collecting was mad because my first pack ever had a Ken Griffey Jr. The rest is history lol! | ||
The first set I collected. Ripped hundreds of wax packs from the corner store and built an impressive stack of Norm Charlton rookie cards (not surprised to see now that it was DP). At some point I clued in to the existence of hobby shops, card shows and common boxes, and bought my missing singles.
| ||
I like busting cheap late 80's/early 90's wax, and 89' Donruss is one of the more aesthetically pleasing boxes of the era to sit and rip, even if there's not much of interest value or rarity wise.

Every regular (non-Diamond King or checklist) card featured four minor printing variations on the back. The copyright notice exists both with, and without, a period after the INC and the Denotes Led League exists with both *Denotes and *Denotes*. Altogether, all four variations exist:
