Don Mattingly 1984 Donruss

I've been noticing this card has been rising significantly in price over the past year. I'm not saying that this card will be the top card of the 80's (Henderson PSA 10) but is it possible that this card can pass the '82 Ripken Traded as far as value and demand. It appears its on its way.
Thoughts?

It has a way to go towards being the top Mattingly rookie.

Love all his 84s— yet that Donruss was THE card back then. Very few candy stores in NYC back then carried Donruss. Was pretty much all Topps. As a result, few kids had the Donruss, which gave it a certain mystique. That card is one of a few images that will always immediately pop into mind when I think of baseball cards.

Don is buying them up.
Around 1991 or so, I thought I remember reading that the Matty card was responsible for "launching" the rookie card craze in the hobby?
I don't have the Donruss version.. how does the 84 Topps and 84 O-Pee-chee compare to the donruss version in collectability ?.. i have those two
The two cards I remember starting the Rookie Card
craze were Joe Charboneau and Fernando Valenzuela.
'84 Donruss is the most valuable Mattingly rookie card.
1984 Topps Tiffany??
I don't have VCP but the card was definitely selling in the $700+ range five years ago or so and then dipped to the mid $400's and I see is back consistently above the $700+ range. Interesting to see the volatility in prices and nice to see them go back up.
It looks like the Ripken is finally coming back down to earth but I doubt the Mattingly gets up to $1,300+.
Edit: I see Ripken's barely clearing a grand in many cases. WOW they have been cut in half. Definitely a closer scenario than I realized.
In terms of Donruss/Topps/Fleer. The Tiffany card isn’t considered a mainstream issue.
Interesting to see the 1984 Donruss Mattingly and the 1982 Ripken Traded going in different directions. The Ripken is a lot more affordable now. I remember when it was selling for 2k. Perhaps this is a good time to pick-up the Ripken.
Both cards are iconic 80s RCs.
the 84 topps i have the is regular , I dont have the tiffany version, i got the topps and o-pee-chee from value village with other mattingly cards in a binder that was for Mattingly but i cant find info on the binder or the other cards
The most popular non-HOFer?

Pete Rose or Thurman Munson.
I have that same book. I got it new from book orders when I was in elementary school. Probably around 88 or 89.
You can find them for sell pretty readily.

I haven't tried to research more about it than that. I used to keep my Mattingly collection in it when I was young, but then I realized the pages are not acid free. I only keep the original cards that came with the set in there now.

Another popular player, at least in my book, who is not
in the Hall of Fame would be Dale Murphy. Truly a Class Act.
