Random Brave #5


Blue 1990 Donruss? WTF? Yup, you haven't gone color blind all of a sudden this is a real card. Donruss put out a cheesy AL and NL Best set in '90 and they ran out of red ink so they went with blue. I don't know about you, but these look a hell of a lot better than the red eye bleeders from the regular set. If you are intrigued by the color change, their yearly "Rookies" set featured green borders. You can make a whole rainbow of Donruss with these things if you're so inclined. Or not. 


Backs are boring but stat filled. back in the days before Baseball-Reference.com this was highly useful.

I like the blue ones, gotta find me some of those.

I have always believed that if Donruss went with blue borders for the base set, 1990 would not be the monster year of card suckage that it is currently.

That's right, Donruss. It's all your fault.

My girlfriend at the time stole me this set from the drugstore she worked at. I still have the Braves from the set. Damn why can't I find a girlfriend that cool again?
