Hi Guys, I was wondering if anyone collected 1984 Donruss Champion cards? They are a larger, postcard sized cards of then current and past superstars. I don't think that they have a set on the registry but they would look great in a PSA holder. I just picked up two unopened boxes just for the thrill of opening some packs. I was surprised at how nice these cards were. I love the artwork of Perez-Steele which is featured in this set for some of the Hall of Famers. The set only consists of 60 cards so it's not a big problem to complete a set. I completed three sets from these two boxes. I had a harder problem completing the Duke Snider puzzles. I only completed one and need about 6 more to complete another. I now have a small stack of extras cards and puzzle pieces left over. I have a checklist for a fourth set and second puzzle. If anyone has any of these cards or puzzle pieces for trade, let me know. Neil

    Neil:

    I think they are beautiful cards - and I broke a few boxes down looking for the 'perfect' Schmidt card. Thankfully, I found it, and pulled the PSA 10, which is hard in this set with the small pack size and large size. I did grade a few more out for other player collectors. It really is a beautiful set - and very inexpensive to boot.
    I am actively buying MIKE SCHMIDT gem mint baseball cards. Also looking for any 19th century cabinets of Philadephia Nationals. Please PM with additional details.

    Hi Guys, I might be getting three more boxes in. I know that these sets don't have much value ($5-$7 per set). However, I spent over 3 hours with these two boxes yesterday and I had a blast. It has been far too long since I opened up packs for the sheer enjoyment of it rather than for profit. I only collect PSA graded 50s cards now but my true roots in baseball are the mid 80s. Lots of memories from seeing these players again. I'm sure that after I get in some more boxes, I'll have some complete sets for sale or trade. If anyone is interested in any, let me know. Neil

    Hi Guys, I ordered three more boxes of these cards and they should be in by tomorrow. I am going to have about 7-8 complete pack fresh sets for sale along with some extras if anyone is interested in any. How about $7.50 delivered for one set, $14 delivered for two sets or $20 delivered for three sets. I think that this is a fair price for these really great looking 20+ year old cards. I would also be interested in trades if anyone has some cards that they want to trade. Let me know at nbdowney@msn.com if anyone is interested. Thanks, Neil
