1981 Donruss Baseball

Collector's were excited when they heard Donruss was entering the baseball card market. Excitement turned to disappointment once they saw the cards. They were awful ! Print on very cheap, weak card stock with were un-inspiring images.
TOP ROOKIES: Hall-of-Famers Tim Raines and Harold Baines.
Who will ever forget "Fernando Mania" ???
Apparently Donruss ...
WIth no Fernando rookie card in the Donruss set, the Topps and Fleer sets (with Fernando) became nuch more desirable. Fernando Valenzuela is NOT in the Hall-of-Fame, but he was 100% the most popular player of 1981.
Another rookie of note was Danny Ainge who later became a NBA basketball player with the Boston Celtics.

Baseball card collecting terms (part B)

Bazooka Bazooka Bubble Gum put baseball cards on the back of their boxes from 1959 thru 1971. Complete boxes and panels can get extremely costly. Most kids back then could not afford complete boxes of bubble gum at one making Bazooka cards quite scarce. I actually don't recall ever obtaining a Bazooka card directly from a box as a kid. Do you ???

Black Sox Scandal Name given to the the most famous scandal in baseball history after the 1919 Chicago White Sox versus the Cincinatti Reds World Series when 8 White Sox players were accused of throwing the series.
