One of the few complete sets I have. On one hand I miss the simplicity of sets like this.. At most one or two inserts. On the other hand, I like the card stock currently in use.

Always disliked the "recent major league performance" on the back of Donruss. No history on the card.

It's almost as if this set was designed exclusively for the Expos. The color coding of this card matches the Expos logo, and uniform perfectly. Although this set holds a tiny little nostalgic moment for me, I didn't really care for the design then, or now. There were some notable rated rookies though, the Mark Grace is a good one.
