			'''NOTES'''

			* A new feature for 1984, the Rated Rookies were introduced with this set and would become a staple of all Donruss products ever since. Donruss commissioned Bill Madden of the ''New York Daily News'' to pick 20 of the most promising rookies. Curiously, despite being the ''Daily News' '' Yankees beat reporter, he did not choose Don Mattingly.
			* Cards 29 and 30 came out of packs without card numbers. As with the Diamond Kings "Perez-Steel" errors, these were corrected for the factory set edition.

			These two cards, which were produced at the same rate as any other base card, were unavailable in factory sets. This is due to the fact that, for the first time, Donruss outsourced the production of factory sets to a playing card manufacturer which used a 56-card sheet, as opposed to the 132-card sheets the "pack" cards were printed on. From 1984 until 1992, all Donruss factory sets were printed on 56-card sheets.

			The factory sets were printed on eleven 56-card sheets and three-quarters of a twelfth sheet (11.75 X 56 = 658).
