1988 Donruss Baseball Forum

Due to a member asking about a potential trade in order to acquire many of my Donruss dot or no dot VAR, I finally dug into my 1988 Donruss box of over 10,000 commons for trade (including over 1,000 Mike Deveraux RC - anyone need any?) and sorted these cards according to the VAR.  I did find several cards that were not yet listed on our site and added them to the checklist, all no dot VAR.  I also found one card where of the 16 cards I had for trade, none of them had the dot; in other words they were all of the No Dot VAR. The back image on the site does not appear to have a dot neither though the zoom lens is not active on that page and the image is blurry (before anyone jumps on the member crucifixion band wagon, the image was uploaded 8 years ago). I submitted an IR on this card questioning the existence of the dot and possibly having the image removed.  This has caused question of the actual VAR's existence. It can be seen here https://www.tcdb.com/ViewCard.cfm/sid/119/cid/44416/1988-Donruss-412-Greg-Gross?PageIndex=5.  If you do have this card and clearly see the dot on it, and you are able to scan and upload its back image, it would be highly beneficial to the site.

While going through my cards I did find a few others with the wrong image, all of the No Dot VAR, and submitted IR to have the images removed.  In all but one, I can confirm that the VAR exists as I did have it in my posession.  The one that I do not have is the #55 no dot VAR.  Therefore this card's existence may also be an issue as the image that was uploaded previously did have a dot visible under the zoom lens.  The image has been removed so anyone who has that card WITHOUT THE DOT and can upload a back image, it would be a great help if you did so. It can be done here https://www.tcdb.com/ViewCard.cfm/sid/119/cid/15610204?PageIndex=1.

I now have all my 1988-1992 Donruss sets sorted for the VAR we have listed in the last three years (still have the 1991 and 1992 Leaf sets to do). My For Trade list is up-to-date with these VAR. So if you are one who wants to complete the Master sets of these Donruss sets, I will be open to trade offers ONCE THE MEMBER WHO ASKED ME FIRST sends me his needs and I can move the trade proposal into the "Accepted" status thereby removing what he needs from my trade pile.  I can provide the update to this through this thread.

I have completed going through 6000+ 1988 Donruss cards.

I have the dot var for every card except for 1, the #412 card.

I have 7 copies of the #412 NO dot var.

I have 103 different cards with NO dots, 118 total NO dot cards, about 2% of the 6000 cards.
