Random Wax: 1984 Donruss Baseball

Tonight is game 6 of the World Series. I'm a huge 1984 Donruss fan so I was really looking forward to this pack.  Very solid pack with Jim Palmer, Cecil Cooper, Mike Scott, Darrell Porter, John Tudor, and Terry Francona.  There were 15 cards and 1 Duke Snider puzzle card.  I am working towards a complete set of the '84 Donruss and I need many of these.  Great fun once again.

Card Show Find #1: Two 1984 Donruss Rack Packs

I went to a card show last fall but life and the lack of access to a scanner has held me back from posting my finds.  My favorite find was two 1984 Donruss rack packs.  Each held 45 cards and 9 Duke Snyder puzzle cards. 
My favorite pulls involved three of my all-time favorites.  Harold Baines, Bob Horner and Jerry Royster.  Baines is a great hitter from his time but not quite Hall of Fame worthy.  Horner was a typical power hitting third baseman, while Jerry Royster won't be known much outside of Atlanta Braves circles.
If it was up to me I'd buy an old box of this set but the price is prohibitive for me.  So when I was able to snag these I was very happy.  These were a favorite in the eighties and still seem to hold favor with collectors.
 I didn't get the fabled Don Mattingly rookie but I was very happy with the stars I did pull. 
Maybe someday I'll be able to grab the entire box of cards.  That would definitely be fun.  I did pick up a couple of boxes of cards while at the show and I'll be putting up the fun from those soon.
