and Jacobmrly provided the Boddicker,

the Dempsey,

and The Very Last Card. The card that turned this:

into this:

#522 Willie Hernandez

Many thanks to everyone out there who helped me complete this set: Jeffrey Wolfe, Don Sherman, Saints of the Cheap Seats, Duane, grcl, Todd Querry and Jacobmrly.

As a thank you for all of your help I had a little unannounced contest... A while back I received a 1987 Donruss rack pack (with Toys R Us price tag!) from Andy of 1988 Topps Cards fame and proprietor of a new blog, Traded Sets. However, I was so close to the set I never bothered to open it. SO... I put the name of everyone who sent me 1987 Donruss cards into a hat and had a drawing for the pack.

There are two rules to this contest:

1. the person who receives the pack has to be willing to open it and post the pack rip so I can see what cards where in there.
2. if Greg Maddux comes out of the pack you have to lie to me and not show him so I don't kick myself.

And the winner is...........


Jeffrey Wolfe


Send me an e-mail or a comment stating you accept the conditions and the pack is yours. I have a few packages to get together, but I should be able to send it out by the end of next week. Thanks again everybody!
