i recently picked up one of my "most wanted" cards - a 2023 panini donruss duke snider card
from the diamond kings subset. it was on my nefarious nine list because it was a card that i had a parallel of (holo purple)
but not the base which is an annoyance to me.
the card reminds me of the first time donruss included snider in a set, way back in 1984
when he was the subject of their puzzle insert as well. no puzzle this time, and no logo on the hat, either.
I'll always treasure my collection of Donruss puzzles from the 80's and early 90's. It's one of those things that I didn't value when I was opening up packs back then, but these days they have high nostalgic value (to me).
ReplyDeleteI remember the puzzles very well, but for some reason I don't recall the Duke Snider one -- which makes me think that that was one that I never completed, or likely even ever owned any pieces from.
