“ Never been a Cubs fan, but I always liked Shawon Dunston ” -jackal726

“ Worst back of card for a Major League set, worse than minor league sets. Good job on front photo. ” -NJdevils

“ Not a bad looking card for 1990. A little information under his stats, and we would be good. ” -engine614

“ I had so many 1990 Donruss it wasn't funny. But hardly ever saw this blue set for some reason.... ” -Joshua825

“ The script is way too small on this jersey. Make it taller and it's not half bad. ” -jlaz10

“ Shawn Dunston presents Baseball 101: "This is a baseball." ” -armac

“ Shaaaa-wahn! I watched him throw oh so many balls into the second row. Did a four year old girl play with crayons on the edges of this card? She should have used the big blank space on the back, instead. ” -Vvvergeer

The 1990 Donruss design (front) was one of the worst designs they had (though I think they beat it with 1991). The blue didn't work any better than the orange of the standard set. Reason people didn't see as many of these as the orange ones - these were in 2 different 144-card factory sets, 1 for AL, 1 for NL. And at least the backs had full career stats, not just "recent" as with most Donruss products. Come to think of it, 1990 was a pretty bad year for card designs - Fleer was boring, Donruss and Topps were both colorful messes, Score was ok at best, and Upper Deck was, well, Upper Deck - nice photos, but the set really wasn't much different from 1989's set.
