Year: 1995

Set: Donruss - Press Proofs (Rate)

Card: #299 Mike Kelly


“ The foil-on-foil name is hard to read, but it looks good otherwise. Good photograph, nice back design, card number easy to read, and placed at the top edge to help those who sort numerically. Before anyone complains about one year of stats, be sure to notice that he had only played one year at the time. ” -switzr1

“ I liked the 1995 Donruss set, but don't think I've ever seen the Press Proof cards. ” -jupiterhill

“ The front is fine but the half only team logo kills the back. I like when jerseys have the first initial when there is more than one player with the same name on the team. In 2015-16 there were three Indiana Pacers with the last name of Hill, and not one got an initial. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ Sort of reminds me of early Stadium Club. Not the biggest fan of cards without a border. Front isn't too bad as far as layout. Can't say the same about the back. ” -Madden95

“ Too much foil, but other than that a pretty good card. Another Braves too. ” -Doc Floyd

“ The labor disputes caused me to tune out MLB for a while, so I'm not very familiar with the Braves roster nor Mike Kelly (despite his having been a first round draft pick). I wonder which other Kelly forced the distinction by first initial... ” -dilemma19

“ Not really a proof if it's just one of the first 2,000 printed. ” -carthage44

“ Yuck TOO MUCH FOIL. Back too bare. Bad year for Donruss, 96 was also a bad design if I recall. ” -captkirk42

The answer to your dilemma, dilemma19, is Roberto Kelly.
