Here are some errors for 1985 Donruss:
74A Jack Perconte (career highlights takes 4 lines) 74B (career highlights takes 3 lines)
424A Tom Seaver ERR (photo is actually Floyd Bannister) 424B Tom Seaver COR
640A Mike Jones (career highlights takes 5 lines) 640B (career highlights takes 4 lines)
There is also the Two For The Title variation.
I believe the Seaver error/correction is found between wax and the factory sets.
FYI, this is my first post as a member of Collector's Universe. Looking forward to joining the fray.

( I had to open it to see it.. ) molitor in the pack as well but neither were minty both had a corner ding..
640A Mike Jones
74A Jack Perconte
I already open and looked through them... and wasn't looking for these..
but I am sure I may have them.. if you need them for a set.. I will relook
no clemens rookies but got 2 pucketts, 2 dunston, 2 saberhagens 3 danny pasqua's ( loved that guy )
weird pete rose has a card on 2 different teams in the same set
Speaking of 85 Donruss, Dave and Adams has some boxes for decent price (I think $75). Might pick up one for the weekend. I'm also in the market for a high grade Gooden RC (hand-cut) from the box panel.

Bummer. It's a pop 1 in a 10 and a tough card in the series. Thanks for looking, though!
Did you get the box from BBCE? I've been thinking about getting a few boxes to chase the Yount. It's probably a wasted effort, but I like to rip.
you mean this little fella?? has a little wrinkle though..
I would imagine it will be hard to find without one...

<< <i>They were supposed to be sealed boxes (not just sealed packs). >>
If you are referring to 1984 Donruss wax boxes, they were not factory sealed to start with.
I remember buying one for $40 in 1986, selling it in 1990 for $120, and buying a pair of Z-Cavarrici Denim Shorts with the profit. A friend promptly spilled chili on them, ending that fashion disaster.
Here's a thought, anyone ever tried to have PSA grade a sealed part of a Donruss Factory Set, like the cellophane block containing the 84 Donruss Mattingly RC?

PSA does not have a holder for packs that size yet.

With the exception of some random eBay junk, I now only buy from BBCE.

I wonder if this is the first time a manuf. did a regular and traded card in the same set (instead of noting it in later prints of the same card)?? Gawd Pete looks old and missplaced in the Expos jersey. I wonder if he gambled in CAN $$ too?

1985 Donruss
74 Jack Perconte A- Batted .346 is last line on back B- Led the is the last line on back
424 Tom Seaver A- Floyd Bannister photo, throwing left B- Correct photo, throwing right
534 Terry Pendelton A- Jeff B- Terry
640 Mike Jones A- Was 11-7 is last line on back B- Spent some is last line on back
651 Two for the Title A- Names in Yellow B- Names in White
I think this set is poised for upward movement. Not at 84D levels, but certainly higher than it is now. A tough black bordered set with some good RCs.
Kiss me twice.....let's party.

I second that statement. Although I have never bought anything from them, I was looking at some newer wax (foil) that BBCE did not have and came across 2001 Bowman Chrome where they were highly touting the possibility of getting a Pujols AU Rookie. I was intrigued by that, but did some research and found what I had expected...that Pujols cards were all redemptions and that NONE were inserted into packs.
I emailed them asking this very question before doing any research at all and they said they were not sure, but thought that a few had been inserted. After finding out otherwise, I emailed them back about this and last I checked they were still touting the possibility of getting a Pujols RC from those very packs. I realize its not a big deal, but if they are willing to knowlingly false advertise than I think they would be capable of pulling other things, IMO.

Yes, and only the factory sets have the corrected version, making the corrected version the more valuable of the two.

Haven't posted in awhile but seen this and had to chime in.
In 2001 me and a buddy were buying 2001 Bowman Chrome packs at a show..... Well lone and behold my buddy pulled the Pujols redemtion Now here is were the story gets interesting. Neither one of us really knew what he had. ( as funny as that sounds now but at the time ) So we went and asked someone from Dave and Adam's if this was "The Pujols Card". One of the guys working there said " Oh no you get one of them a box there all over the place" and then offered my buddy $50 for it.
Well thank god he declined, he sent it in and got a nice 2001 Bowman Chrome Albert Pujols that has since found its way into a BGS 9 holder.
So take this info with a grain of salt when you want to deal with Dave and Adam.
BTW. Love watching from a far the great post here.
