I've got several what I believe would be considered 1987 Donruss Diamond Kings Hall of Fame Roberto Clemente MINI-puzzles. This is not one of the large 3-piece Clemente puzzle piece cards and it is not the #612 1987 Donruss Clemente Puzzle card (not a puzzle, rather just a picture of the puzzle.

Was this "Mini-Puzzle", actual miniature pieces when put together are the same size as a standard size card, an insert into the 1987 Donruss set? It does NOT have the border like the '87 Donruss. Just trying to figure out how this card was packaged?

    I believe the Clemente card sized puzzle was inserted along with the Donruss Rookies boxed set.

    I believe they were in the 1987 Donruss Opening Day set

    The card sized Clemente puzzle appears to have been inserted into multiple 1987 sets, then. I believe the 1986 Donruss Hank Aaron puzzle is also featured in a similar fashion as a puzzle sized card in several of the various boxed sets.

    This mini puzzle was inserted in the 3 "specialty" sets of 1987 Donruss. These special sets are Opening Day, Rookies, and Highlights. Other mini puzzles are found in the other years of Donruss specialty sets. Example: Stan Musial mini puzzle is in the 1988 specialty sets, Spahn for 1989, Yaz for 1990, Stargell for 1991, Aaron for 1986.
