Of course there's Donruss

It comes as absolutely no surprise that lo and behold, in the dodgercards boxes of Jays there is a solid bunch of 1991 Donruss cards.



As much as the set was way overproduced, it is still one that I remember so clearly from my childhood and which takes me back to collecting as a 11-12 year old kid. These epitomize the Jays I recall from my youth and a great time of my childhood. I remember opening packs on the weekend at my grandmothers after my mom and grandmother came back from grocery shopping which is where my mom would usually pick up a pack or two for me every now and then.

Funny how simple pieces of cardboard can bring back such memories.



A few stragglers in the bunch which work out being new additions for Woody and Juan. A simple shot, but I do really like the Pinnacle Juan photo, though I do remember him with the longer hair more.

  1. I also had a ton of 1991 Donruss. I think it was the first time I bought a whole box after saving up for a while.

  3. Simple pieces of cardboard sure can bring back such memories. My simple pieces of cardboard were 1987 Topps. Way overproduced... but I can remember sitting down at the family room table sorting cards in front of my parents, relatives, and whoever else wanted to watch.
