1985 Donruss

From BaseballCardPedia.com


Description

The 1985 Donruss baseball card set consists of 660 baseball cards numbered 1-653, and seven un-numbered checklists. Cards 1-26 of the set feature Diamond Kings, and cards 27-46 feature Rated Rookies. Significant rookies include Roger Clemens, Eric Davis, Dwight Gooden, Orel Hershiser, Kirby Puckett and Bret Saberhagen.

'85 Donruss is also notable for their black-borders, and as a result, the set is considered condition sensitive.

Because of quality-control issues, collectors seeking cards suitable for professional grading should consider a factory set.

Distribution

Wax: 36 packs per box, 15 cards plus one puzzle piece per pack. 20 boxes per wax case.

Racks: 24 racks per box, 45 cards plus three puzzle pieces per pack. Three boxes per rack case.

Factory Sets: 12 sets per case. Hobby only.

NOTE: All boxes are note factory-sealed.
