1989 Donruss Baseball Forum

As usual, we will need the full list of what the set should be.

Here is my list. If anyone has any cards that contradict this chime in.

Grand Slammers:

Yellow/Green cards 1-12 without the 2 black lines on backs (some current image backs are incorrect)

Green/Blue cards 1-12 without the 2 black lines on backs (some current image backs are incorrect)

Red/Yellow cards 1-12 without the 2 black lines on backs (some current image backs are incorrect)

Purple/ Red cards 1-12 without the 2 black lines on backs PLUS cards 1-6 WITH the 2 black lines on backs (some current image backs need rearranging)

Purple cards 1-12 without the 2 black lines on backs PLUS cards 7-12 WITH the 2 black lines on backs (some current image backs need rearranging)

So to summarize adding 6 cards to each the purple & purple/red sets would cover all variations, If Admin wants the 5 current sets could be combined with A B C D E and sometimes F (12 cards) variations. I also suggest renaming the Purple to Blue/Purple. Then images need moving and or replacing.

I have sent in a request to Admin to combine the 5 sets. (There is pricing info which would get lost if we were to use IRs to "move" the cards.

I have "prepped" the sets by adding Note, Note2, and the [a/b/c/d/e] in the extra fields (do they will sort correctly).

Ed, please provide the missing cards in checklist form.

Just to be clear, are all cards issued without the black lines? We can make version [f] be the ones with the lines if that's the case.

Yes all 60 exist w/o the black lines, How do you want me to list the 12 cards? See below...I don't know if this matters but the "with lines" may very well be Factory set only production.

Purple/Red (F) with 2 black lines on back (You find and use a term consistent with the catalog for the black lines)

#1 Jose Canseco

#2 Mike Marshall

#3 Walt Weiss

#4 Kevin McReynolds

#5 Mike Greenwell

#6 Dave Winfield

Blue/Purple (F) with 2 black lines on back (You find and use a term consistent with the catalog for the black lines)

#7 Mark McGwire

#8 Keith Hernandez

#9 Franklin Stubbs

#10 Danny Tartabull

#11 Jessee Barfield

#12 Ellis Burks

I can work with that.

As edk mentioned, I have the 12 cards with the black lines in hand and can verify those exist.  We're currently working on a trade for me to send the along to him.  He can get the points for scanning them when the time comes.  LOL.

There are 6 variations in the 1989 Donruss. The bottom two on the right have a gap variation.

Ok sorry I am not sure how to post pic.

I was trying to figure out how to break that news to everyone here who has done so much already on this set. I think your user name is fitting to this message of yours.

As someone previously mentioned, there is another variation. For example, the 1989 Donruss #60 Gary Pettis [a] card -- https://www.tcdb.com/ViewCard.cfm/sid/128/cid/45210/1989-Donruss-60-Gary-Pettis, doesn't have a gap between the stats and bio, but the card I have (and scanned in), does -- https://www.tcdb.com/ViewCard.cfm/sid/128/cid/14657140/1989-Donruss-60-Gary-Pettis

I am checking through rest of the cards I have for this set, to see if there are any others that show this variation.
