Description

1984 Donruss Champions is a 60-card oversized set. Similar to the Action All-Stars of the era, each card measures 3 1/2" X 5".

The theme of this set features a Grand Champion and those current players that are directly behind him in a baseball statistical category, for example, Season Home Runs (1-7), Career Home Runs (8-13), Season Batting Average (14-19), Career Batting Average (20-25), Career Hits (26-30), Career Victories (31-36), Career Strikeouts (37-42), Most Valuable Players (43-49), World Series stars (50-54), and All-Star heroes (55-59). Each subset is led off with a "Grand Champion" featuring the artwork of Dick Perez of Perez-Steele Galleries. Current players in the set feature photographs.

The cards were issued in five-card cello packs with pieces of the Duke Snider puzzle.

Distribution

36 packs per box, five cards plus one three-piece Duke snider puzzle "panel" per pack (MSRP: $0.35).
