Sunday, July 26, 2015Year: 1985 Set: Donruss Highlights (Rate) “ Not the most likeable guy, but the boy could hit! Always great for the fantasy team, back when you had to use the USA Today for stats to crank out the standings! ” -bkklaos
“ No matter what era, the Sox unis still look good. ” -jlaz10
“ Even though this was the beginning of the Junk years I still like the 1980s sets. ” -captkirk42
“ So so good!!! ” -carthage44
“ Didn't like the idea for these sets back when they first came out and this was the first year of the "Highlights" set. I was just a teen, but I remember them being too "expensive" for my taste. I think the 55 card set (56 with the checklist) was priced about the same as the Topps Traded and Fleer Update sets (which were more than double the size at 132). Now, for player collectors, these are awesome sets to pull singles from. 17 of the 55 cards feature HOFers! ” -vrooomed
“ Somewhat inaccurate set of records, as Willie Keeler, Lloyd Waner and Jesse Burkett all had higher single-season singles totals than Willie Wilson when Boggs hit his 187. Wilson's 184 wasn't even a modern ML record as Waner's 198 was in 1927. Ichiro surpassed Boggs mark 3 times in his career and now hold the undisputed record with 225 singles in a season (2004). Either Donruss had bad information, or they were really trying to pad the set. ” -DaClyde
