So I am interested in collecting a couple of puzzles. The 1990-91 Pro Set Football I'm familiar with and have some missing cards on my Want List, but another put out by Donruss, the 1987 Roberto Clemente Puzzle I want, but it's got me a little confused.
- The 1987 Donruss #612 Roberto Clemente Puzzle, is it simply a card that shows what the complete puzzle looks like?
- The actual puzzle pieces of the Roberto Clemente Puzzle would have to be removed from a card unlike the Pro Set NFL puzzle is simply a collection of nine cards that don't require tearing apart, right?
No matter the responses, I want them both, so please look me up for a trade. I'd appreciate it.

The Donruss puzzle pieces came 3 per card, which were perforated, but inside of a "shell". To put the entire 63-piece puzzle together, you need to "destroy" the 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" cardboard "card". Donruss included a card that showed the puxxle (or the puzzle was from the card - chicken/egg?). Somewhere around here, I have 1,000s of puzzle pieces, maybe not so many of the 1987s, but I may be able to help you. Of course, there are a few others on here who will be able to also and will probably private message you offers before I can.
So - direct answer to both is Yes. The card is the puzzle and they need to be removed to put the puzzle together.

There is also a 1987 Donruss Clemente mini-puzzle. It is the size of a regular card made up of 15 individual pieces. It is as thick as a regular card

I think that was inserted in the Highlights or "The Rookies" set.

I'm interested, but only on the regular size Clemente and the missing Pro Set NFL puzzle. I'm not high on mini sets. Let's try to get something done.

I sent you a PM. By the way, as I've commented before on one of your lists, with a monikor like that you ought to be a Walking Dead collector.

If "walking dead" can't complete your proset puzzle let me know. I have a couple complete sets and I'd be happy to help as well.
