Random Wax: 2023 Donruss Baseball

 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.

  1. Hadn't seen much of these. The Marvels is pretty cool. Seems like a sad Diamond Kings effort.

    1. It isn't a lot. And I still like better than some of the more recent DK efforts.

  2. Rose wins it.
    The lack of licensing is rough. Hope you didn't spend much.

    1. Probably about $8. Too much but that's the going rate for the fat packs.

  3. Lots 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!
