1987 Donruss Rack Case

I've been looking for a sealed case for a bit and found one on ebay and pulled the trigger. The case was as described and I had a lot of fun with it, it took me back to my youth. The best was a Bonds on top, I was looking for a McGwire. Any way, just thought I'd share. Also if any rack collectors are looking for someone specific from this year and company, let me know and I'll check.

    I remember busting those back in the day before I reformed. image

    If you happen to have Tom Seaver showing on top on one of those racks, I'd be interested. Thanks!!

    Got a Greenwell on top?

    Are they racks or blister packs? Man I loved that 87 Donruss set when I was a kid.

    I'd be interested in one with a centered Larkin rookie on top.

    I know someone in your area who would help you get rid of those if you have a storage issue.

    You can send any 1987 Donruss Seaver racks my way. That will lighten the load some.

    Why bother waiting for the UPS truck. I stake out the processing center and intercept the packages there. Less chance of delivery errors that way. image

    One thing I would be curious to know if you bust that rack case open, is if the same card appears in different sections of the rack packs. I think that Donruss did not sequence their racks in the same way as Topps and I wouldn't be surprised if you saw Maddux for example in the middle section and the far section as well. Thanks for any intel. image

    I think McGwire is behind Ed Nunez.
    Collector of 1976 Topps baseball for some stupid reason.
    Collector of Pittsburgh Pirates cards for a slightly less stupid reason.

    If only Mario Mendoza was still playing. A rack with him on top would be money in the bank. Heck, he had a line named after him and everything. image

    oh yeah, our culture hasn't forgotten Mario. one season our young Pony League baseball team was so bad at hitting, we called them the Mendozas. image

    Mason and Dixon had a line named after them too, but I don't want their cards either.

    Not to sound like a broken record, but I'd be interested in one with a centered Larkin rookie on top.

    looks like the seller has handed it off to the USPS already, so let's all have a collective kum-ba-ya that it arrives safely by the end of the week. will post again soon. still taking requests. image

    case has arrived, repackaged with delicious racks once price tagged by the likes of Toys-R-Us & other retailers......no Maddux on top racks (what were the odds?), but there were a few in here that might suffice.....

    ReggieCleveland rack with Greenwell on top, rack header has a price sticker on it, Greenwell card is in top cell and has a little chip off the bottom border so the white shows.....

    totallyradd rack with Canseco on top, a little price sticker over the top cell which contains his card.....

    LarkinCollector rack with Barry on top in the 3rd cell, small price sticker over the top cell, nice looking card inside.....

    slum22 looks like you're the big winner here, as the box was loaded with Clark racks, about 5 or 6 i think. image let me know if you want one or more and i'll find the nicest one for ya.....

    i did find one each with Bo & McGwire which look nice enough to keep for now, and i suppose ripping will commence in hopes of landing a juicy Mad Dog.

    thanks for playing along and anyone who wants to send a PM with a request or just to taunt me, feel free. image
