Fleer - 1959 - 63 and 81 - Present? Or did they go BK?

Donruss - 1981 to Present? Or did they go BK too?

Technically Donruss made baseball cards in 1973 too with the Baseball Super Freaks sticker set.

Actually, Fleer was sold to Upper Deck in 2005, so now Upper Deck makes cards under the Fleer name.

Donruss lost their MLB license in 2005.

i think it's sad, Topps 2 main competitors (who had better designs and subsets in the 80's and early 90's) are gone.

I couldn't remember the date that Donruss lost their MLB license, so in looking that up, I found that Donruss is now Panini. I'm probably alone when I say I had no idea that had happened.

It's baseball and Donruss. Those are the only 2 requirements here.
