Year: 1984

Set: Donruss (Rate)

Card: #337 Joe Beckwith


“ "84 Donruss was produced in limited quantities, making it a very popular set. A must have ... simple but neat design...like the green backs. ~BOB~ ” -BOBSCARDZ

“ Wasn't a big fan when they were released, but in retrospect, probably the best design of the 3 sets in '84. At least this was *only* the third year in a row of a very similar back. Also, this set was not printed in as large of quantities as the others, and has subsequently retained a decent value. ” -vrooomed

“ Another one of these sets that the very first time I saw it I didn't like it much, but each time after that I did like it a bit more than the last time. From 1984-1993 I still managed to keep up with Topps releases but not Donruss and Fleer. I think it was because I was sick of the overproduced onslaught that is now known as the Junk Wax Years. ” -captkirk42

“ This design screams 80's and I love it! ” -carthage44

“ Despite what the experts say, I've never been a fan of the mid-calf stirrup look. If you're gonna show your hosiery, go up to a little below the knee. ” -jlaz10

“ My favorite design from Donruss' 18 year run. ” -C2Cigars

Another of my scans...an early scan, not cropped the best it could have been, try to do better now.  I really like the '84 Donruss set.

Probably my favourite set from the 1980s and later.  Simple yet attractive design.  All of the information you want is easy to find and clear to read. Wish I could say that for the cards of the 90s and 2000s!
