1983 Donruss

For reasons unknown, I didn't collect these too much back in '83. I really think Donruss took the great design of '82 and made it even better. But I just never collected these. In fact, I bought a complete set off of ebay about two years ago, and it was the first time that I saw many of the cards, and that's a shame because this is such a nice set.

I've only got a handful of Tigers though, and since most of my sets are in storage in a secured location somewhere in Tennessee, I can only post pics of the Tigers cards I have here with me in Chicago. Or else I'd post the cool Jack Morris Diamond King or the Ty Cobb Puzzle Card. But I do have the rookie card of Howard Johnson, the great Tigers third baseman of the future. (As well as that bitching Wockenfuss card.)

So anyway, the 1983 Donruss Detroit Tigers:
