Hi just wanted to inform you that there are 6 variations for almost all the cards, you cannot find the variations without a uv light as you will find glowbacks or non glowbacks of which all the i believe 8 different possible variations of which there are 6 cards available for almost every card and the cards dont have an order as to what variation it will be and it constantly changes so you cant sort them by color but with a uv light and only with one you have to meticulously scrutinize every card cuz once you get a rhythm going the variations switch up so you have to sort by variatiion ie.glowback single * no period after inc, excluding dk(2 variations)checklists(4 variations maybe six)4040 canseco, orel hersheiser 40 40 or 30 30, (2 variations)and the warren spahn card,(2variations) there might be.a few others i cant remember as i had to take a wax break a couple months ago so i could pop some hobby boxes i believe its something like 620x6 equals 3720 + the other variations i think its around 4000 cards or so in that ball park for a masterset oh and the kicker which is what actually makes some of these cards highly valuable is that donruas only produced i think if i recall corectly 5 to 7 percent of the cards in a very low population/ circulation making them A. Valuable B.extremely difficult to come across in the past 2 years i have purchased over 50 wax boxes, a 216 oack display case, 5 + sets, rack packs, not to mention my cards that i bought in 1989 i have three 3inch binders stuffed to the gills and im still something like 800 cards shy some of these cards are rediculous to find which is why im pushing close to 25,000 1989 donruss cards, the only 2 things i havent tried yet are blister packs and cello boxs otherwise i bought everything 89 donruss made on my search, spent i dont even want to know much now knowing i am either gonna have to buy each card off ebay or more boxes, personally i am a pack popper so this quest has been rather enjoyable, im quite certain i can now tell you what packs have been resealed which there are a lot of unfortunately (i personally think they are from set attempt collectors but thats just my opinion) but i pulled 26 griffeys, which is still as good of a feeling as it was when i was 9, I am probably going to regret this as im sure the price will go thru the roof when people find out their sets arent complete but this needs to be known i mistakenly came across this info when i was searching for 3 cards to complete a no period after inc set and came across a ebay seller who is quite knowledgable on 89 donruss and he got me hooked on attempting the damn near impossible master set that no one knows about but this should kick the value thru the roof, and the hardest part is i have 6 variations for most of the superstars but its the commons that no one bothers to keep that are hard to come by, and remember all of the 6 variation cards 3 are glowbacks and 3 are non glowbacks that is the only order in the whole damn thing, and i refuse to pay over $35 a box but this may change if too many of you read this

Nothing to add about 89 Donruss.

I'm mostly organizing over adding right now.

More power to you for being able to read that. If this is the future of language, I'd prefer to go back to Shakespeare's time over this.

There's a local sportscaster who I call the human run-on sentence. A close relation?
(My eyes cannot sort anymore Donruss.)

All Donruss variations can please jump off a cliff.That is a personal opinion so if you chase these more power to you.

Reminds me of a Welsh town but I can’t think of the name of it.

My favorite part and I'm excited for the follow-up post where this will, of course, be expanded on and supported with evidence:
oh and the kicker which is what actually makes some of these cards highly valuable is that donruas only produced i think if i recall corectly 5 to 7 percent of the cards in a very low population/ circulation making them A. Valuable B.extremely difficult to come across

I'm sure the research is appreciated, and I'll just get the gist of the post from the title. But I'm pretty sure we can consider the checklist for this set locked.
