1985 Donruss Baseball
TOP ROOKIES:Roger Clemens, Kirby Puckett, Orel Hershiser,
Dwight Gooden & Mark Langston.
In an attempt to enter the Canadian baseball card market,
Donruss created a special version of its cards (1985 Leaf) just for
Canada. Except for a colorful green leaf on front, the Leaf card
fronts were nearly identical to Donruss but on the back, the Leaf
cards were in both French and English.

How long have sports cards been around ? (part 2)
The first important and mainstream basketball set was issued by Bowman in 1948. Other than a Topps set in 1957-58 and a 1961-62 Fleer set, there were no mainstream basketball sets issued until Topps started producing yearly sets beginning with their 1969-70 set featuring the rookie card of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who then went under the name of Lew Alcindor.
In hockey, there were a few sets issued in the 1910's and while O-Pee-Chee issued some sets in the 1930's, the real modern sets began in 1951 with the itroduction of Parkhurst's first set.
In racing, while cards go back as far as the early Indy car days of 1911, modern racing sets began in 1988 with the issues released by MAXX.
