2023 Donruss: Really nice Retro 1990 card made all the better by Ken Griffey Jr. Spoiler alert, it's not my last card in this pack of The Kid. As a reminder Panini no longer holds a license with the MLBPA, so no current big leaguers in this set.
The lack of logos is one thing but that combined with this design makes it a rough set for me. The inclusion of retired greats does help soften the blow some.
That middle card is a Holo Orange parallel.
That Mike Mussina is a Holo Blue parallel. Pulling Smoltz was fun on a Retro 1990 design.
Lots of retired greats. Loving it.
Marvels are fun inserts. I like the Diamond Kings design this year. Better than most years. That Holo Red parallel is #/2023. And one more Griffey Jr. as promised.

Hadn't seen much of these. The Marvels is pretty cool. Seems like a sad Diamond Kings effort.
ReplyDeleteIt isn't a lot. And I still like better than some of the more recent DK efforts.
DeleteRose wins it.
ReplyDeleteThe lack of licensing is rough. Hope you didn't spend much.
Probably about $8. Too much but that's the going rate for the fat packs.
DeleteLots of legends in this product... but doubt I'd collect the set. I am going to look for some of those Marvels inserts though. That Rose is awesome!
ReplyDeleteThe Marvels really is a nice set.
