1987 Donruss
Description
1987 Donruss is a 660-card set. All packs included three pieces of a Roberto Clemente puzzle and the factory sets contained a complete puzzle.
Considered last set in the "Golden Age of Donruss," the regular-issue cards feature a black and gold border on the front that is very condition sensitive. Quality control issues plague the wax edition of the product. Collectors seeking Gem Mint copies of '87 Donruss cards are advised to look for a factory set.
The backs of the cards in the factory sets are oriented differently than cards taken from wax packs, giving the appearance that one version or the other is upside down when sorting from the card backs. There are no premiums or discounts for either version.
The popular Diamond King subset returns for the sixth consecutive year. Some of the Diamond King (1-26) selections are repeats from prior years; Perez-Steele Galleries had indicated in 1987 that a five-year rotation would be maintained in order to avoid depleting the pool of available worthy "kings" on some of the teams. The rich selection of Rookie Cards in this set include Barry Bonds, Bobby Bonilla, Kevin Brown, Will Clark, David Cone, Chuck Finley, Bo Jackson, Wally Joyner, Barry Larkin, Greg Maddux and Rafael Palmeiro.
Distribution
Wax: 36 packs per box, fifteen cards plus one puzzle panel per pack. Ten boxes per case.
