    82D is almost always a disappointment, even if you hit a Ripken the quality was awful. I'd vote 85D for ripping.

    85 for sure. much more fun to break and low pops from the set sell well

    The real question is what do you do with all the commons?

    1985 Donruss was an awesome, but financially unattainable, set for me as a kid when I started collecting in 1987. The set remains a favorite of mine to this day. I usually rip a box once or twice a year. always alot of fun and won't break the bank. The Eric Davis card is one of my favorites of all time.

    Even though the 82D has the Ripken, I would go with the 85D. Larkin is right, even when you pull the Ripken RC, it WILL be OC. That box is worth more sealed.

    Another vote for '85 Donruss. Love the black borders and I'm not find of '82 Donruss at all.
