Reviews

1991 Donruss was panned as “complacent” in the March 1991 issue of Beckett Baseball Card Monthly. The set was featured in the “Card Critic” column titled “Opposites Don’t Always Attract”. Chuck Roethel did a comparison review of the 1991 regular issue sets of Donruss and Fleer. Mr. Roethel had completely unfavorable remarks. He lamented, “In desperation, I sought something positive to say” and ultimately he couldn’t. Comments such as “dampens my enthusiasm”, “predictable style”, “lackluster” ‘”(No) stroke of genius” are littered throughout his review. Mr. Roethel was also frustrated by the idea that the inserts were “becoming more significant” than the set itself. A prophetic statement as 1991 was just the start of the insert card craze that has now long become standard.
