“ Wow the look on his face... Cool shot for this junk set. ” -Doc Floyd
“ Can't get much more random (or common) than this. I think I have 30 or so of these. :) (Just kidding, maybe only 10-12.) ” -vrooomed
“ Must resist making a Smokey and the Bandit comment... BUT WHEN YOU HOT, YOU HOT! ” -jupiterhill
“ I actually like this design...but I also really like the 1990 Topps set too. ” -Billy Kingsley
“ Where's the rest of the statistics? ” -RoundtheDiamond87
“ A 1990s card set that I wasn't thrilled about when I first saw it, but later learned to like it. Wait a minute this isn't Jerry Reed the Country Singer turned actor. Hehe. :) ” -captkirk42
“ One of the most easily recognizable sets of the era. A big change from the darker borders more common in the late 80s Donruss sets. Not great but there were lots of bad designs for 1990 baseball so for me this ranks second behind Topps and ahead of Fleer, Upper Deck and Score. ” -Mitch
“ "I'm gonna strike you out, and then take you out on a date" ” -sahal694
“ Between 1990 Fleer and this Donruss set, it was a year of infinite variations. Black lines over/under the player name, aqueous test variation, all-star/regular season stats. I believe they issued an Andy Nezelek card listing him as having been born in 1985 -- for a second straight year. Jerry Reed doesn't appear to have been a very effective pitcher. ” -dilemma19
“ Hated them back then but like them now. What a difference 26 years makes. Oh, still hate the "recent ML performance" on back. ” -NJDevils
“ The old 1990 Donruss where they tried to get artsy and use splatter paint as the boarders. ” -carthage44
“ "Another Puff" was always one of my favorite songs he sang. "Pretty Mary Sunlight" was my favorite song he sang on Scooby Doo. When You're Hot You're Hot! ” -UKboogie
“ I'm sure somebody could point out that there are 87 variations of this card, involving placement of the specks in the border. ” -switzr1
